There is absolutely nothing about that turbo setup you have that is high quality. It is an Ebay manifold that is prone to crack and break.

I can't decipher the exact question. You shouldn't run the car with the plumbing like that. It will catch on fire.

I feel so sad for the future generation of miata owners

Still need a good turbo and I am completely rebuilding the miata thanks for all the newbie love.

Serious here, park that car. It is a complete fire hazard. I don't want anyone to die in a fiery blaze, and you are on a path to do so with that set up. All of those poorly terminated oil lines are a bad, bad thing.

Park it, read, read more, keep looking and reading other builds. this will give you plenty of time to save up money to fix all those hazards.

But bro, it's high quality

Your best bet is to place it in the trash or melt down the metal to salvage & recycle for a small profit.

Talk to shuiend for a baller setup.

I was trying to find the highest quality part. The manifold is out, so it a tie between:

1. The boost controller with a magnitude of lines and tee's leading to gawd knows what.
2. The heater core re-routed to the turbo. Don't know where the hell it goes after that.
3. The oil lines clamped onto a barb-LESS hard-line, using a high quality 1.5" worm clamp, choked down to 3/16".

This dude needs to pay close attention and examine as many build threads, stickies and help threads, as humanly possible for the next three months. No, six months.

It's a 1.6, so maybe it wants to die in a fire?

I kind of smell a stinky little troll. The grammar, choice if words, and picture uploads.. it's stinky.

Look at that, even cheaper than $400.

The hose with the worm clamp, that's your coolant feed line, right? Please say it is.

As for your turbo replacement, go hit up zilvia for a used turbo, you can usually get a used 2560r for around that much.

I bought the car AS is for 1800 for a winter project the car won't be drivienough till it completely finish just looking for a little help on my first turbo build.and yes I do have a new oil feel line that won't be shifty clamped onhttps://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...bbf528819c.jpg

I think the heater core reroute is through the turbo?...

​​​​​​​That is what it looks like to me.

Hahaha yep, just saw that too

Basically OP, you bought a pile of poo. Good luck replacing everything lol

I wouldn't pay $180 for that
