I Stupidcharged my car, wanna fight about it

Well, the only way I can think that I could track it down any better would be to strap it down on a dyno and replicate the conditions or to put the rear of the car on jack stands and run the car thru the gears. I could pin point it that way I suppose? From all my years tho, it sounds alot like a bearing. I'll see if I can record the noise.

Replacing the nose bearing in an M45 is no big deal, to be frank the quality of the nose bearing in the M45's isn't great. The MP62 uses a much better quality bearing (costs circa £50 for a single bearing for it).
I'd advise pulling the snout off and have the bearing in it replaced.

I want to bump this thread because I love reading it.
I put a m45 on my car and I'm really disappointed. I mean, its better than stock. But the minute the opportunity shows for a turbo, I'm gonna switch.
******* things get too hot for Florida summers. Can't even boost around town because the heat gets to it.

The car in general. Today the temps started to climb and I pulled over. After about a hour of driving then going to redline through 2nd and 3rd gear with the AC on was a bad idea.
I'm not blaming the SC. Then again, I want to blame the SC. I feel like hotside SC's are just a giant heat soak.

Ya, all the undertray stuff is on.
I'm not trying to fit in. I'm just disappointed in this whole SC thing. I expected more out of it. Is it normal to feel boost around 3500 rpms on a m45? Everyone says there is no lag on a SC and I'm here wondering if I broke it.
and I'm hoping to combat the IATs by making a shroud or box to direct air from my TSI to the airbox.

I hate to admit it, but yes. I have aids. I got aids for $150 bucks. Voodoo box/msd. I was a bright eyed and bushy tailed lad when I thought nothing in this world could go wrong. Then, I bought aids.
And I have sat in a turbo car with aids and it still felt better. Felt like it was gonna blow, but it was much faster.

I, as many others, made the mistake of not purchasing a MS before anything else. If for some reason I ever buy another miata, the very first thing done will be a MS. It really is the best bang/buck mod out there.
