That possible turbo Miata in the last message?

I'm sure by now you've heard of Jay Lamm (of "Stinky" fame) and his 
current lunacy, the 24 Hours of LeMons. If you haven't:

Well, my boss and I have acquired a sub-$500 miata, and have nearly sold 
enough bits off of it to pay for the $500 Greddy bits we bought off 
Craigslist. We appear to have an Greddy manifold and a good TD04H, along 
with a Vortech FMU (this is just an AFPR, no?) and the oil lines for the 
turbo.

So, we need intake plumbing and a BOV, right? What else do we need to 
scrounge to get this working...and how much of it is laying around in 
your garages waiting to be sold cheap (*very* cheap) to the official 
racing team of Miatapower.Net?

What's a reasonable target for a stock ECU with the AFPR? 6psi? Less?

Also, the thing basically can't idle when it's cold. It will start up 
with a little coaxing, but then the idle speed just slowly drops off to 
zero. Runs great once it's warmed up. I haven't spent much time on it 
beyond replacing the temp. sender (at Rick Weldon's suggestion), which 
helped, but didn't solve the problem. IAC is next to look at... any 
other ideas?
