De-Noob Intro
Name is Nick, I like cars, beer and home theater stuff. Stumbled onto a good deal thanks to my great friend Ben, and had to jump on it (although a bit unprepared). '06 Sport with lots of goodies, and needing a little work. 2.5 with Cosworth SC, Ohlins, Tomei LSD, ACT 6puck, full exhaust, terrible looking wheels, OEM hard top. Now I am reading, trying to learn what I can about the car, and make many friends that will enlighten me in the ways of Miata.

If anyone in the Tampa,FL area is around, I could use some friendly knowledge sharing. Bought the car with supercharger only boosting 4lbs, when it should be around 10. Flyin Miata has dicked me around for 5 weeks on getting a replacement Bypass Valve, but am very apprehensive about tearing things apart.

Could you guys help this poor misguided soul out? Nick has good taste in beer, i'm sure he'd buy you some.

Per previous owner, SC should only have about 20k miles, but was purchased used. I would hate to take the sc off, replace the bpv, then need to rebuild it right away, or again in a few thousand miles.
Recent transplant to FL, just moved down here about a year ago from Indy.

He's already got a BPV on the way, it's the cheapest option. SC supposedly needs to be removed to replace BPV. Case of "while we're in there...."
Also Nick: If you don't measure the dimensions of that BPV when you get it so you can get a pimpy Forge one later or something instead of dealing with FM again, i'll punch you when i see you in a month.

It sounds a lot better when I tell people I live in Tarpon Springs... Because yes, that is all that is in Holiday. I live about a mile west of the Northern Tool.
