I got my laptop and tunning software in last night. Ill have the laptop adapter today! I have no clue as to how to tune or the effects of each different thing. I will have Carlos tune it tho. I have lots to learn about still! So excited tho

The turbo finally came in today! It looks nice. Damn nice for 305$ It will take some work getting it to fit but itll be worth it.

Aem AFR came in as well. It was new in box- nother else to say about that

Turbo to mani adapter is in and looks good. It came with special super short head cap screws.

I should have the laptop tomorrow.

Exhaust to vband is still not shipped.

I should have more stuff friday and saturday. I will be playing with it all this weekend

The build list for the new turbo setup is

1. twisted Motion t25/t28 hybrid turbo - it might be to big, to cheap, spool late, not make power o well its mine already. I took bp 's word on the fact that he can work with it! So i wish myself the best of luck there!!!

2. Microtec lt8s ecu. I just happen to find this ecu for sale when i wasnt looking and jumped on it. hope it works as well.

3. I picked up a new laptop for my tunning needs. sub 200$ walmart referb. itll do the trick plus be better then my computer im using now!

4. aem wideband

4.5 stock manifold to t25 adapter.

5. 610cc injectors from james on facebook. I was told he was the guy for miata injectors.

6. 5 bolt to 3" vband flange. ebay special. it is cast tho.

7. Bp will be doing my tuning remotely

8. had to get an ecu to laptop adapter.

9. will have to get some soft braided oil feed lines, oil return line, and coolant lines.

10. also had to get a couple extra vband clamps as my weling is hit and miss- i hope i get one right!

I bought the car from a guy in N.C. He dropped the car off to me in ok running condition. It had major boost creep and cut issues. The car has a stock 5 speed but has a spec stage 2 in it. It came with nito nt01 race tires up front and cheap summit tires in the rear. The car had a sound system that was not hooked up but there. Interior is all there. It has a few extra gauges on the a pillar. All in all it was an ok car!

I drove the crap out of it day 1-3. I played with it trying to get the boost under control. I blew the 1st stock vj14 in a few weeks to a month or so. I replaced the vj14 with another used one. I blew it in a couple weeks. I could hear the blades tapping upon 1st start up tho!.

It is now time that i redo the turbo system to get the power that i want and have it a bit more reliable at that power level.
