Lots of NOS FM1 intercoolers and tons of leftover new intake parts almost free. Make sure you cut slots between the runners on the flange so the manifold doesn't crack. Without an aux fuel pump or larger injectors, 5-6 psi is safe. Check the Idle Air Valve on the plenum and the tps idle contacts. Idle speed will be controlled by air flow, not fuel mixture.

The Dead Smurf 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: http://24hoursoflemons.com/ 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?
