Hello all, the guy doing the install on my car is basically at the end but ran into this snag. Can anybody answer his questions so I can get my car finished and back in my hands. Below is the issue
We've managed to install the turbo manifold, turbo, downpipe, intercooler, and throttle body side intercooler piping, but we are having difficulty completing the circuit from the compressor outlet to the intercooler. We have installed the Mishimoto radiator with fans and moved the cruise control out of the way to try to make room but with the supplied components it appears we won't have enough room to run any configuration that will allow us to connect the compressor outlet to the intercooler. Has anybody else encountered this issue or are they using some variation of other couplers to make this work?
Since the original poster hasn't been online for a couple years...
I have never purchased anything from Lars (Shuied/MKTurbo), but this thread should tell you all you need to know. He found and responded that he would help in less then 2 hours to a thread that a customer put up on a website asking others for help. I've emailed and called other Miata vendors directly and waited weeks just to get a response or to follow up again. (This includes a vendor that I've spent around 10K with.) Getting a super quick response of "how can I help you" tells me you are in very good hands purchasing anything from Lars.
Good Luck with your Turbo build. I'd recommend you create a build blog so others can follow along and help. There is a wealth of info in the MiataTurbo community.
looks like the turbo just needed to be "clocked" which means to rotate the compressor housing, usually need a GOOD pair of circlip pliers (cheap ones break easily)
