UPDATE: Well I complete a little more work on the car in the past few days. I was really thinking about using my FD upper intake manifold, but decided against it at the last minute. I clean up my S5 Lower intake manifold and installed it. I also pretty much finished up the Haltech install, just a couple of lose ends with GPOs take care of and clean up mess of wiring I have. I really don't want to clean the wiring up till I KNOW for sure everything is wired right. Parts car to the rescue, with a oil cooler and I had some braided stainless steel oil cooler lines laying around, top one (return line) likes to kink though. I will have to fix that problem Another shot of the oil cooler. (Also could double as a intercooler for a turbo Honda ) Had the turbo exhaust housing thermal coated. Its a .96 Q-Trim with 3.5 inch v-band outlet. Turbo is temp installed on the car. I am using a cheap turbo manifold for right now, I had to space the turbo out with an extra T04 flange to keep the compressor housing from hitting the water pump housing. Said thing is its 45 dollar TiAL flange doing the spacing. The turbo is T72 ball bearing unit, the turbine wheel has been lightened up a bit. The 90 degree bend is going to have to be cut off and faced the right way. I hope to start it this weekend, if I have time, and maybe even beat on the dyno with it.

UPDATE time again. Intercooler is mounted, Don Polk of Polk Performance was kind enough to surprise me with piping completed, radiator is almost mounted also. Will Damion got tired of looking at my mess of wiring and cleaned up a little bit. Pics of the plumbing and turbo. Shot of the piping, I am going to paint them tomorrow, later this year I will probably have them powdercoated. Messed around with the interior a little to day, installed my Mazdaspeed steering wheel. I will post some more pics of the progress tomorrow.

I'm going to drop off my turbo so they can weld a V-band flange on it. BTW: The car is looking good, Beav. Did you manage to find or make the throttle cable bracket??

Ordered one from Mazda at for 5 bucks. It should be here by today, but too bad, everything is going to be put on hold, duty calls and I will not be able to touch the car for over 4 months.
