Post 502 has one of the grommets I used for the shaft, I used slightly smaller ones for the bolts. The shaft grommets fit in washers to squeeze them on the shaft a bit. Post 524 is actually made from a single port can. The grommeted washers go in place of the Teflon washer and the inner tube seal. I dented the top of the can to clear the nut.
Sorry I didn't take pictures this time.

Turbosmart?s NEW Twin Port IWG-75 Internal Wastegate Actuators

Might also consider this^
Since I have no idea how long these modified actuators will hold up and​ the diaphragm can't be replaced. I have also been toying with buying a kinugawa one to modify because it would be easy to change diaphragms and springs.

Raced a brand new Ferrari today, he definitely had more power but I had the advantage, multiple times.

​Every time I got the advantage, he got shut down. Finally we had a good pull side by side. He pulled up next to me on the stop light at the same exit and I said don't feel bad this is a 12 second Miata. He genuinely said "wow, your car is really fast, nice to see someone who enjoys driving."

I had said earlier that drink SOTH is the best SOTH. It is likely that I was quite possibly incorrect.

Perhaps it's crunk SOTH that is in fact the best SOTH!

I think that might've been a new record, 9 posts in a row.

Oh, another question, sir. At your track, do they enforce driveshaft hoop rules? If so, please a pic of what you have done.

My car doesn't need a driveshaft hoop yet, I think it's because of my all seasons. I think as long as I run DOT tires, I don't need a hoop. If I run real slicks, then a hoop is required and they make me run in "Comp Rod" instead of "Gear Jammers". I think I am good down to 11.99, hmmmm, maybe 12.49. I will look it up.

They are pretty strict at my local track from what I understand.

Beware of possible thread puking, can't make the good info too easy to find.
