The $1500, running, driving, turbo Miata. Boosting like it’s 1996!

So updates. The exhaust sounds amazing. Not too loud, nice throaty rumble. No real ricer buzz or anything.
Also, car is rolling on the road! After a new battery first thing in the morning, it made the NJ Miatas meet and did over 200 miles on it's first day out. Our good friend Justin shot an amazing roller as well.
The day was not without event. Turns out the former turbo water line (now just a bypass for the thermostat) that runs off the cursed waterplug tap was lacking a clamp... Or rather, that clamp was 3" down the hose, rather than where it should be. Took about an hour of waiting for things too cool down, moving things, and cursing, to get it back on.
The art of getting the line back on the back of the engine, with a spacerless rerout hose in the way....

Oh man, this car has been though so much since I last updated this thread for Dev, lol. Including another crash, new front subframe, upgrad (19T) to the turbo, a kraken manifold, and the Link finally got flakey enough we threw a Speeduino at it to play with. Curious to compare it to a rusEFI. I have started really getting into learning the difference between different ECU and EFI systems.
