My car started for the fist time in a month and a half.

I still don't have the new compressor housing, but using the Perrin 3" turbo inlet, and a silicone piece on the turbo inlet, we were able to make it work. For some reason, the inlet pipe seems shorter than it should be...but i guess I'll know for sure when Slowboy sends me the right part.

Currently, the car is running with the wastegate wide open, I have a couple of exhaust leaks, mostly due to missing a stud on the back of the turbo. I am also running on the stock ecu for the time being.

With any luck, wednesday the car will see boost again.

Big thanks to the Speedworkz/Planet Miata guys for pitching in to get the car running that night.
