Your going to burn up the bushings with the turbo mounted like that, unless you have stupid amounts of oil pressure

how do you mean? I've never heard of a CHRA caring about its orientation other than the oil return having to point downwards or thereabouts. I havent yet rotated the CHRA. Is that what you're referring to?

not a heck of a lot. I had to cut part of my hood skin up and screwed my paint up in the process (caused 2 bubbles on top of hood) ARGHGHG. I used an angle grinder when I should have used a dremel.
I'll try to take some better pics of that.

i have to go to columbia nearly evereday for classes but have only ever seen one mariner miata parked on main st all the time. Nvm about the hose with the thermal wrap, it looked like it was entering your turbo but then i saw that it goes behind it. Any plans on bracing the manifold or no?

Any plans on bracing the manifold or no?I've cut some stock to use for bracing but im not really sure if I need it. The downside to bracing would be that it would be more of a pain in the *** to tighten/loosen the turbo from the manifold b/c the braces would be in the way of the wrench to an extent. I will probably re-consider it before I do the final tightening on everything.

Got some more work on the downpipe done. Should be working on the exhaust tomorrow.
intake done except for welding
Oil feed wasnt nearly as difficult as I thought it'd be

Small, pictureless update:
Tonite I worked on the exhaust. Got the downpipe 90% welded up and started on the rear section (flange, flex-pipe, first muffler, straight pipe). It's a bit crooked so I'm gonna have to cut it and re-do a bit, no biggie. Gonna fab up a bracket that connects the DP to the transmission to keep the weight of some of the exhaust off of it. Thats gonna be a bitch but I've made up my mind i'm gonna do it....well at least eventually.
Got my hot and cold pipes smoothed out some, added an IACV hookup for the cold pipe made out of some old bicycle handlebars LOL.
Painted both the pipes then I remembered I forgot to put on the BOV flange. gosh deng. So I gotta sand some paint off and find a good spot for it.
