I have 6 more setups that have been ordered that I need to finish. Then will be taking a break to clean my garage and organize it better. Hoping to get a NB and 1.8 NA into the garage and setup so that I have dedicated cars to use to build on. This way I don't have to pull in any of my running cars and pull them apart to build setups. After I get that all situated I will be going down my wait list which is about 20+ people interested so far. Going to do future orders in batches. Will most likely be doing a NB batch first, as the first few people on my waitlist have NB's. The plan is to take 3-5 orders at a time. I won't be doing any more big group buys as I end up going to slow and getting in over my head.

I realize you are getting caught up and there is a waiting list, but please add me to the list for a NA 1.8. I like what I see and think it would suit my goals.

Where on the oil feed line should I put the oil restrictor? Should I use all 3 that were included with my kit?

Thanks,
David

1 at the top of the turbo, rest are spares - keep them handy if you havn't ported the turbo, eventually they break, just like everything on my car ... :/

Default swap/turbo install almost done

Just thought I would leave these here. Recently did a VVT swap in my 1990 Miata and installed the MK turbo kit on it.

My car is supposed to be a sleeper so I am not doing a window sticker.

It had a lot more stickers when I picked it up. I removed the majority of them. My girlfriend thought this one was funny so I decided to keep it.
