So made some progress and mounted the recommended intercooler in preparation for the mk turbo setup this weekend. Please note that I did not have 2" t bolt clamps so I need to get those and I ran out of aluminum piping 90s so I had to improvise. I could use two reducers as well but everything fits. The undertray is sitting back a smidge so it will be held by 4 bolts for now. Will need to make a sheet metal plate for IC yo channel air to it and connect bumper to it as I'm getting rid of that plastic piece that originally connected to the bumper.

Top view- have a turbosmart bov and will run recirculation just because I want to use that particular turbosmart. Note: tentative top view until turbo gets installed.

Test fit done today. You may have seen this in the mk turbo thread but I'm putting it here for build thread completeness.

Drove the miata yesterday and still have a boost leak! Today I bought a leak tester from silicon intakes and took off the undertray to inspect my intercooler piping. I managed to tighten a few t bolts and realized I had some were that were a bit too large so I ordered the right size today as wrll.
I found a fitting that was leaking oil so I tightened that up. Leak averted.
I then decided to take off the exhaust as I need to grind off a Nipple that keeps hitting my brand new exhaust and drives me bonkers while driving. I then decided to clean some of the welds up and I am starting to give them a couple coats of your typical rustoleom(spelling?) High temp paint so that it prevents surface rust at the welds.
Plan is to fix my leaking axle seals on rear diff this weekend so I don't have to worry about that any more.
Pic for fun.

Got a lot work work done today. Cleaned and painted welds for maximum life. Heat wrapped downpipe and sealed it. Made the most hideous heat shield for brake lines and coolant hoses. I won't scar your memories with this chunk of horribly made metal.

Well I think I still have a little leak but not much. I think I know where it is tho. I am concerned the the chra is hitting either the compressor or turbine housing so I'll try to pull it tomorrow. Here is a screen shot of max boost acheived today.

So here is a screen shot of the miata boosting on the MK turbo. Note this one was one of the better pulls, but I had to slow down because I was speeding pretty good as it is.

Did some porting. Before and after shown below.
Going to memphis for a week for work so I'll put it all back together Friday or Saturday as time allows.

I finished up the porting show in the previous post by taking out some space behind the flapper and actually on it a bit so it would allow a smaller volume (I think of it as a pie shape more) of air to pass through. Below is a side by side comparison of before porting and then after. You can see that I did not hit my max boost numbers on the second graph as I shifted before that to enjoy the car more. It did produce a more linear trend as well as slowly get to the overboost protection of 170 kPa.
