"All the research that i have done" = oh cool a $60 turbo. (chugs down the bluemoon), seems fairly decent size for a miata. >>>> clicks buy-it-now button,
Gets turbo in the mail, goes online, sees ZERO manifolds that would work and signs up for Miataturbo.net and here we are.
true story.

Its one of the weld your own deals but i had a welder buddy go over it and he seems to think its ok (guy has ballistic armor welding certifications and is pretty thorough with what he does). got a matching dp too so we shall see where this goes

Get a T25, above all.
Theres so much more knowlege to base your build off from with a T25. Its a popular turbo in the Miata world, so finding matching hardware is also easy.
if you dont mind the wait for shipping, i hear Kraken is pumping out a bunch of T2/3/4 manifold/downpipe combos

Yep. this build is full of poo and it hasn't really even started. You need to step back and start over.
first things first- What is your budget?
What computer are you going to use? MS2, 3, 3x,3pro?
Figure out your power goal- this helps determine the best turbo and other bits (injectors etc.)
Figure out what manifold- or provide some pictures and specs of your current one. Just because a certifies welder says it looks good, does not mean that it is. material thickness is the kicker here. you dont want to go through all this only to have the mani crack in a month.
Figure out what turbo you are going to run. dont make a seat of the pants decision here. A 2560 garrett is a great turbo. Pretty easy to find on Nissan Silvia forums. I believe you want one with a 5 bolt downpipe.
lets start with this for now.

I dont really have a set budget, originally it was going to be a greg peters kinda build but then i ordered mspnp2 from 949 and so far thats been the most expensive thing. I was looking for somewhere in the neighborhood of 200ish hp, wasnt even really concerned with the numbers tbh just to make the car a bit more fun than it is now. Ive been piecing this together over the course of a month as far as the misc parts go, ordered some denso injectors from the rx8, a universal charge pipe kit (2.5), the manifold and DP, Innovate Lc2 and DB AFR Meter... Still waiting for the MS to come in but most all of everything is here except the turbo

your injectors are junk too, scrap them. This is the wrath of buying first and learning second.
manifold looks ok, downpipe will need a bit of work obviously.
DUDE, just buy an MK Turbo kit and be done. you absolutely cannot beat his price with your current knowledge.
