I've searched but can't find... using stock intake tube on NA turbo?
I could have sworn I saw somebody with a simple turbo setup, retaining the stock intake tube, mounting a BPV where the "resonator" goes on the side of the throttle body, and the factory intake pipe went to the turbo..
But now I can't find the pic/setup... Is this something people do? I've got a stock SR turbo laying around with o2 housing, some braided oil lines from past projects, and the wife wants the miata to have more pep...
So I'm thinking about doing a simple 5psi homebrew, but I was curious if I can just reuse that pipe...

cxracer is, and I have. I think that's his name. Dunno if he's doing the BOV thing, but I did. Worked great with some zip ties in the accordion piece to help with the expansion. 5psi is great, although above that is too much.
Here ya go. It's mainly about the rattle, but the first video shows the zip tie thing. Unfortunately I don't think I have pics of my setup when I had the BOV in place of the resonater.

I took a couple quick videos with my iPhone of before and after the adjustment
Before: I also ended with a shot of Curly's trick of zip-tying the intake tube
After adjustment: Not that much of a change. I tried to show how I can flex the arm and get the rattle but it's a little hard to hear.

Well, if you're doing it RIGHT, it'll be around $150. Seriously, the first "miata intercooler kit", buy it now, that includes pipes, clamps, and an intercooler, is from cxracing and costs $143.
A used DSM plastic BOV costs $20.

Just a standard Bosch valve...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bosch-Bypass...9abec0&vxp=mtr
As the add says, comes with a lot of Saabs, Porsches, Audis, etc. Basically any turbo car from the 80's and 90's, that had a BOV.
no custom mount, I just clamped it where I removed the resonator chamber. I believe I clamped a piece of hose between the two, lightly of course because the intake side is fairly thin plastic.
