Call me a dreamer.. the upside is his response helps me feel a rung or two higher on the evolutionary ladder at least.

Thanks, man! I appreciate it.. running short on drop in solutions at this point, and got completely screwed on the "fix it over the holidays" plan.

ah here:

https://www.miataturbo.net/diy-turbo...estions-27799/

btw that first image is Shuiend's -- he may still have that manifold to sell you.
Trying to decide what's less-foolish.. taking my existing "quality" (assuming something pre-china ripoff is better quality) manifold and having it professionally repaired or take the cheapo china-bay knockoff and fill-n-drill-n-tap like Patsmx5 did.... I haven't sent the ebay manifold back yet.

What say you guys?

Nothing wrong with plugging the T2 holes, milling it flat, and re drilling/tapping for T3 pattern.

So I decided to do both. Having the original repaired and having the new one filled and will tap it myself. One on the car (the original) and a spare on the shelf just in case. Hope to have it back in two weeks give or take and then I can reassemble and finish all the other mods that require the engine in the bay.
