NC turbo kit miata.net
Next remove all the studs from the head that hold the header, we discover this is the easiest way to just "drop" the manifold with the turbo and down pipe. no need to unbolt the engine.
Next just insert 1 or 2 studs back on the head, to when you drop the whole thing you can use them to hang it.

After seeing this FM kits seem like they are made by the hands of the big man himself. And they are cheaper... WTF?
I love how everyone on m.net was jumping up and down in excitement. I can't believe that. I'm so glad I didn't sign up there....

Jebus Christ, now my first turbo manifold looks good, sawzall machined flanges and all... I mean come one, even my pie cuts look better, and I only did that because I needed the car running as soon as possible.

Wait did he say they used SS because it was more expensive than mild steel? WTF? Don't you guys complain that the mild weld-els are more expensive than the SS ones? Am I missing something here?

Poking around that section at m.net has been very interesting. I was not aware FM was having trouble with their SC tunes and that there was so much mudslinging and just weird stuff going on between competing tuners.

I like the part where they take a GTX2863 in a tial v-band turbine housing, replace it with a **** garrett one.
use a gasket between the turbo and manifold.
weld the turbo to the manifold.
and then proceed to use bolts to hold them together...not studs. Using washers to clearance the depth of the bolts that hit the shitty runners.
I cant wait until the bolts back out, the gasket blows and then they have a hell of a time grinding off welds and resurfacing the flange because of.

I didn't even get that far, honestly. I didn't notice the turbo welded to the manifold, either. I was too busy laughing at the 1-4 runners pointing directly at each other.

They aren't point at each other, they angle back upward against the flow slightly due to the stupid bends they picked.
but, I will give them this, it IS a better design than the prototype manifold of BEGi's that they are trying to improve apon.

You don't understand,
FAIL + FAIL + FAIL + FAIL = WIN
