Quick pics of my Greddy setup
Hello All,
I've been horribly delinquent in providing y'all with updates, mainly due to a nutty work schedule. Since I had the hood off the other day doing some maintenance (new hoses, acessory belts, t-stat, timing belt, valve cover, etc) and cleaning up, I decided to take a few pics to share. Much more to come, I'm hoping to finally get some dyno numbers and take it to the local track.
Also, I know the awful orange couplers need to go

Very nice. I love the intake pipe and the routing of the compressor outlet. Extra, super clean.
And the blanket really does it for me. Wish I had something like that, vs. my big ole' heatshield.

Thanks as always guys, I appreciate it. I've never owned a yellow car before and let me tell ya, they show every speck of dirt under the hood, so I have my work cut out for me.
The piping has worked out well, substituting a slim aftermarket fan for the stock radiator fan really frees up lots of room for the hotside piping.
As for the turbo blanket, I bought it after reading about them in this thread in the group buy/member discount forum. It is a little large looking, but it does fit very snug all the way around and makes a noticeable difference in underhood temps. I would recommend one if your budget allows. I tried to mock up some cardboard heat shields, but wasn't liking my options, so this seemed like a good alternative.
Thanks again guys! The car is running great, I love the ACT clutch setup and highly recommend it. These cars are also perfect for the gas prices lately. I'm getting 32-24 mpg!

As for the fan info, The fan I purchased was a Summit Racing brand universal. (SUM-G4902) I was leaning toward a "be-cool" or similar name brand, but they were either too small or too large for the Miata. This one fits perfectly and works great. Page 2 of my build w/fan pic and info
