Rest assured that if you ask for props, you will surely be dealt negative props. (though this time I did not contribute).
anyhow, still really excited for this. We don't have group buy pricing that I simply missed, right?

Sorry that my opinion and disagreement with what someone else said lead you to believe that I detracted from the community I'll be sure not to do that anymore, and no one ever accused you of asking for props I was just making a statement that I though it was dumb that someone would suggest only opening a group buy to people based on props and number of post, because I have a low number of post and now negative props, but doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to buy something I'm interested in and willing to spend the money on

Yes, I have an actual question. In the past we've seen blown stock blocks with just wastegate efr pressure. Thoughts on this? Was it had tuning? Do you expect to easily stay under stock rod limits with this kit or is it assumed it will be going on a built motor.

I'm developing the full kit (oil/water lines, IC kit, etc) on a stock-motor NB2. I'll probably start at 8psi just to get an idea of the minimum limits of the turbo, and I'm not expecting to frag the stock shortblock at 8psi with a conservative timing map.

Thank you 18, im glad someone got it.
Seriously, what is wrong with you people
Only if you post more pics.
...of the manifolds, just so we are clear here. I don't need another inbox full of wiener pics.

Pricing seems completely fair for manifold only.
In for baller status.

So you remember that really sad dyno I posted of like 250hp on a low reading dynapack with the 6758? It turns out not only was that just straight 7psi wastegate can, I had literally zero preload on it, which resulted in 12psi at peak power. And I found that said can and preload with the boost reference disconnected (severed, oops) it just blows the wastegate open with exhaust pressure and makes 13.5psi which is ~260 on a mustang dyno. Moral of the story, good luck keeping it to like 8psi to not blow up a stock block. Might be a slight bit easier with the 6258.

He bought a car with a blown motor and rebuilt it. His build thread is here: https://www.miataturbo.net/build-thr...t-build-77297/
