Ha. Good point.

 

If there was a description for "epic failboat" in a dictionary...this would be it.

 

forget the coolant.
just run more boost to compensate.

 

Just sell the thing and get a pinto, cause you seem to have no luck with your car. Everyone has different talents, I don't think yours is turning wrenches.

 

That only works with low compression

 

and drive with the hood unlatched. this will give nice air cooling

 

Incorrect.
MOAR BOOST compensates for pretty much everything, including but not limited to, small ***** size.

 

Especially for small ***** size.

 

Wow guys thank you!!! OMG this forum is so supportive and I like really don't know what I would do without your kindness! It's like, so AWESOME to experience enthusiasm and positivity in my challenging endeavour!!!! I know that all of you like, absolutely NEVER EVER had a problem with your turbo or automotive setups, and erupted out of your momma, vaulting into this world as pure shining bastions of turbo knowledge. Like, super serious, really, I have to give super BIG thanks (and hugs!!!) to everyone for letting me hang around here, despite the potential for me and my car to bring shame to the turbo miata community. Such a sensitive, sharing, welcoming, positive group!

 

The Internet is serious business, we do it for the LULZ.

 

In for MOAR boost.

 

Just kidding. **** all of you. I am going to make mad power very shortly and am steadily working on my engine bay to make it nice. I don't give a damn if I have setbacks because I'm going to attain my goal and stomp on some **** with my nice ride. I'm also pleased with the advanced of my knowledge and skills so nyah nyah. XOXO

 

 

I'd just like to point out that everything you said about me and my turbo miata is 100% true.

 

umad? lulz

 

fae, your avatar made me think of this after reading those sweet posts:

 

Use imgur not phombo or whatever. Here you go. I loled

 

What lines are you using? From where? o.O

I just ordered the supah awesome setup from Abe, maybe you should too.

 

I fixed my ******* water leak with an unused hose I had. I think that the hose that died croaked because it just aged from heat. It was the water line closest to the manifold.

I put a new turbo blanket on the turbine since the spiffy ebay one disintegrated. Respectably, the seller refunded my money. The one I put on is a DEI volcanic material blanket and I wrapped the downpipe with the same stuff. My girlfriend thinks it looks pretty cool and so do I.

I started it up, the water line did not leak, and I took the car for a drive. The turbo still whined, albeit less loudly than before. I guess removing (I drilled out the pinhole) the restrictor was beneficial. This by the way, was Sean's original idea so he deserves the credit. When I parked and turned the car off, and lo and behold, the compressor spun for about a minute. That is a good sign as it has not been doing that for a while. I popped the filter off and again, behold! The wheel spun freely, the way it is supposed to.

Here's a pic of my bay as it is today. Made a few changes. Can anyone figure out what I did?

 

You used electrical tape for an AN fitting and crocheted a doily for your turbo.
