mspec, whom did you buy it from? Last I heard of the kit (and the car) Rick Weldon of PR Motorsports had bought it, like 5 years ago. The owner upgraded to an F430 cabriolet. (which i got to drive several hours on mountain roads) :giggle:

That is a awesome deal you got for those parts. Just spend some time cleaning the down pipe up and you'll be set.

The wastegate honestly is not that bad once you do it a few times. I can disassemble and reassemble my hot side in about 2-1/2 to 3 hours. Sounds bad, but those parts will outlive the car ;)

I usually assemble most of the kit outside of the car before the reinstall:


Also, you're going to need some longer exhaust studs for the larger corners on this manifold. If you can't find anything locally, contact the good man at MiataRoadster.com; he was kind enough to modify my turbo stud order at no extra cost (after I placed it, too).

TEC2 and 550cc injectors. The TEC2 will make as much power as any of the newer ECU's. 60-2 wheel, very accurate ignition control with stout coils.
