Does anyone know the difference between oil pan seal sets. I believe they are different between NB1 and NB2. I have 2 sets of seals an an NB2 pan. So not sure what to use.

Those are NB1 seals, assuming they are OEM. They have a flat, thin edge on each side. NB2 seals are thicker and have a contoured edge with a little cutout which fits into the notch on the MBSP. The extra thickness accounts for the added thickness of the MBSP. On the NB1, the windage tray nests into a notch in the pan.

As per usual, Andrew is right.
Dug around in my gasket box and found a 3rd set of pan seals![facepalm](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/facepalm.gif)

Set on the left are NB2 seals. 2 sets on the right are NB1 pan seals.

Somehow I managed to sneak some time in the garage this weekend. And spent basically all of it fabing a turbo brace. I forgot how long this **** takes. But I think it turned out well so far.
Start with some CAD.

Take a break and pull the oil pan off your other motor and find bad things.
