The rule of thumb is to keep at least a millimeter of flat, untouched edging to keep a seal. There are different ways to "knife edge", by removing material either on one side at a 20 - 30 degrees, or both sides at an even 45 degree, or even "rounding" the square edging. Edit: and by looking at yours, dont touch the front edge, its the sealing point. M3 tuners do this, from what ive seen thats why I asked. Its not for power, but throttle response. |

how about raising the IM by machine the flange to an angle. and yes I know, I have to machine the IM nut surface to same angle also. |
I'm sorry for my stupid question, but where will the injectors go?

I machine 5mm off so now it sits an angle https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1359401491 If I bent that ABS pipe out of the way there’s about 1-2cm room for the IM. I think its enough.. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1359401491 Maybe I leave it as it is. If I want to raise it any more I have to buy another stock Miata manifold and cut the flange off it… |

You want to shield the dipstick from the turbine housing, exhaust manifold, and downpipe. Ask me about having to remove my engine because of tiny bits of melted dipstick in my oil.
