Hey!

Im planning on building my own/sourcing bits from different places. At the moment ive acquired:
-Me221 ecu
-VF28 turbo (Looking on how to make my own return and feed lines)
-Kraken manifold
-Kraken downpipe
-Rx8 injectors

Intercooler wise, Im looking at buying an intercooler and working out what pipes/joiners I need.

Nice! I'm being gifted alot **** for my build. Perks of knowing alot people. Right now my Miata is in primer. It should have been painted by now but working two jobs and averaging 3 hours a sleep at night has been cutting my productivity down on my car. But after the paint I start my turbo build. I want to start fresh so I'm probably going rebuild a spare engine i bought. Then I may build the bottom end and maybe play around with the head.

Nice, If only I was gifted turbo bits for my build :( Yeh trying to find time to work on my car is hard too, having 2 kids and working shifts I can never seem to find time. I did think about buying a second engine and turboing that but I think Im going to just work on the engine thats in the car and wait for it to go bang then get a new engine and maybe forge it.

I recommend doing the second engine build. You can still enjoy the car while building the second engine. But I don't know what a spare 1.8 goes for over there. And you have alot of parts now so it maybe not be as time efficient. So I understand. I can't wait to see the finished product brother
