Hi guys,

another nub calling in. I have in my garage a 92 mx5 1.6 with a custom red/pink white oxidation stripe courtesy of Rob!(told u i would make a shout out :P)

Since purchasing the car i've definitely got my heart set on goin the turbo route. Ive already picked up a few bits and pieces. Scored a xr6t intercooler and exhaust incl. dump for 130 bucks, and a td04 is collecting dust in the garage so im goin to put it to use!

I've had a look thru the pics of turbo/sc thread and saw a few things, but im mainly after some better detailed shots of turbo manifolds + dumps + where to pickup CAI. I know for nb guys u can pick up from the foglight, but for the na its slightly more difficult to achieve that.

and i am registered on turbomiata before anyone asks... just looking for some help closer to home :mrgreen:

regards
angelo

Make sure you skip the step in Mike's instructions that say "just add water" :mrgreen:

have a look at my super simple log manifold using 40mm shedule 40 weld els..

I had to trim them up to get the port spacing correct and to get them tight into the head as possible. Im running a Subaru legacy IHI VF10 turbo.
