Yea, someone did. I was either joking, or mocking someone, and someone else thought it would be funny to take it seriously...some people just have no lives.

Does it make a difference that I didnt have the BOV mounted right on the TB inlet pipe but on a seperate hose about 7 inches away from it?? I know you said running rich, but I dont know how it could run so rich to burn oil...or if it even could

Ok.....stop everything you are doing and shelve any ideas you have planned.

Is the car back to stock?
Now, I'm gonna assume that you replaced the stock part because of stories of possible leakage.

How did you know that yours was leaking?
From what I read, you don't have any boost gauge for your turbo.
Until you get and install the boost gauge, do not mod the car.

I know I know I still have to figure out where I'm going to put it...I also want one that is the same color sceme as stock gauges. silver face, red needle, black numbering, red/orange glow

FYI...
Next time you pop your hood, and see/smell oil burning with a cloud of smoke from your engine bay... it just means that oil somehow got onto a hot part of your exhaust and is burning off. If you happened to JUST do an oil change, there is a good chance that its just excess oil that got spilled while doing the change (assuming you didnt forget to tighten your filter or drain bolt).

A bov has nothing to do with this.

Do research before modding, n00b.

bov = the best mods

Cars are like women, they dont want you to do it fast they want you to do it right otherwise they complain.

the latter part of that became sig-worthy for me.. But Very right on the advice there. DIY Fabbing isn't always the greatest of ideas especially if your are new to that particular car/motor.

Cleanneon.. For now, if you have the bug to modify the Miata, Start with suspension and brakes. You always should start there and have some sort of a plan for the car. Research what setups works for Miatas and what setups don't. Miatas are great for handling, and drift.. most succeed very well with auto-x. Really tho, its best to have an idea of what you want to do with the car, what the car is BEST for, and moving from there to improve it and mold it to you and what you want to do with it. But always start with suspension, Why have power and not be able to control the car, or stop quickly if need be?

There ya go....

Now get the gauge and then get a full turbo-back exhaust.

Thats jumping ahead for me...ill see what happens, are boost gauges hard to install?? I might just order one this week if not.

Oh don't worry, I'll be back... I'll be back...

And install a boost gauge first of all - seriously, it isn't that hard. If you can solder you can install a boost gauge.

When you buy it you get the gauge with wires out the back and vacuum line. You can either do 1 of two things when tapping into the car for power. Either solder it into a 12v constant line (like ignition) or do what lagos showed me how to do and run the wire into the fuse box and pin it down with a fuse. You get ease of use and the boost gauge is essentially fused at that point.

My fuses are actually under the dash so that will work well. Where do I tap the vaccum line in?
