I totally would have done a 4th gear pull today, but sadly my MAC EBC Solenoid took a ****. I just tried cleaning it cause it looked kinda dirty but not really. Im thinking when I get the new one I need to relocate it further away from the turbo.
So while I wait for a new one. I went ahead and reported my waste gate. I was getting just a tad bit of creep so lets see if this finishes it off for good.

So you aren't having all of your welds x-rayed? Lol. I wish I could weld worth a crap. I guess I should practice.
Good solution on the hangar.

I got Bond's NB setup nearly complete. Mid pipe is mostly tacked together, I need to cut it apart and re-weld one section because it moved on me, but I should hopefully get that done today. Then final welding on the downpipe and mid pipe and it will be good to go.
After that I will start on the last one. Hopefully I can get it done this week. I am looking forward to having a break after these to get some personal work done on my cars and get the 1.6 setup worked on. Test car is local and lined up.

Obviously it's hard to fit a 3" pipe down a Miata and miss everything in it's way. The only spot I can see where it may be a problem is along one of the braces by the differential. I put hose clamps on all the hangers but maybe will need to use a BFH to help 'clear' things a bit more.
Looking around on miata.net I found this about FM exhausts on a turbo car. One quote that I thought was very appropriate is.
Even FM exhausts occasionally hit and need rubber on to keep them from clanking around.

So I am hoping this is not a permanent issue rather a settings or configuration issue. But Im not getting full boost (14psi) till 3rd, 4th and 5th. Please tell me the chinacharger will spool full in at least 2nd gear. I am going to keep playing with CL but damn I didnt have this issue with the 2560.

I have not tested my personal setup higher then wastegate yet so I don't have something to compare yours to yet. What do the logs in TS say you get? When doing pulls and trying to log a specific gear I hit the spacebar key the same number of times of the gear I am in. This way when I am looking at the log later I can count the number of marks in the log and know which pull gear pull it was.
