The Miata finally has turbo...
Made an adjustable bracket so i could find the location i wanted for the turbo before i start on the exhaust manifold.
The gen2 GTX3576r almost looks small down there.
And no, the filter will not be directly on the turbo, but 15cm forward in a cold air box.
But it is the same size filter i am going to use.

Shifti's parts tend to be really, really over the top insane quality, and expensive as hell Cant wait to take a closer look at it tomorrow

A 20lb flange that can survive a nuclear bomb...
It actually weighs 6 lb. so it is heavy, but extremely strong.

looks good...
is the turbo going to sit that low? I've been building manifolds to sit turbos a bit higher to allow better oil drainage.

We have had the turbo that low in my car with the gt3076r for a decade with no issues
