90 Miata FE-dohc 2.0L t3/t4 48AR Stage3 60AR 50 trim 9psi

Intention was to log some closed loop boost control, but couldn't get the map to "stick".

So all the vids are at 9psi. Tach is off by about 800 rpm up top. Yes, sound/wind noise = me

That was with tape covering the entire mic port. Next time I'll tape foam over the port. Cam also has an external a/v in port, so I might try and see if it'll take just audio in... tho I doubt it, probably switched.
----------------------------
Was headed out to a big road that's dead this time of night, though that wasn't the case tonight... massive jam up. So I stayed near home. This was starting in 2nd at 2k and on through 3rd.

----------------------------
This is 1st gear from an idle roll, through 2nd.

----------------------------
3rd gear from 2k rpm

----------------------------
1st-4th from roll

I want to go home and make a video now, and post it up tonight. It would be cool have all the members make videos of some pulls and ****.

So, if you have a Greddy, but have replaced literally everything but the turbo and manifold, can it then be considered DIY?

Awesome vid and autoX course - that's the kind of course that get's you doing track events for sure. When you get your new cam, you can mount the old one facing out back or in the nose or on the side... Nice job.
