MSM boost pressure from manifold?
I have a stock MSM and a MSM with a blown motor but lots of extras that someone else built. So today I decided to rob the FM intake from the "parts" car (until I put a new motor in it). Come to find out, due to the FM log exhaust manifold, different turbo, IC, etc., they hacked up the intake to work with that set up. Fine, I can deal. So I put it together, and get it on, only to find out that I don't have a spot on the compressor outlet pipe to for the boost line to the stock boost controller. the stock spot has been removed and can't be put back on due to the other FM piping, and the FM pipe you would normally use was not on this car, but replaced with some other "custom" aluminum piece with no nipple. My guess is the other turbo has a spot on the compressor they went directly to, or since it's a EBC not an MBC on that car they didn't need it (I don't know about that though)... ANYWAY. Any ideas where I can get boost pressure from? Currently I have it hooked up to the IM, and it's pretty garbage which I expected. It will get me around, but boost is erratic and comes on SUPER late. Will it do damage being hooked up to the IM and not the compressor outlet?
Any other compressor outlet spot, or an idea for making one that doesn't include welding a nipple to the inline pipe I have there?
Here's a pic if it helps. Thanks!

you could, I dunno, read the stickys? https://www.miataturbo.net/diy-turbo...eed-ebc-47532/
TL;DR: yes, it'll do a little damage as the turbo will spool "too much" when the throttle plates closed, IIRC.

This in a hole drilled into your rubber elbow in charge piping. Since EBC, I would go before FMIC, but either is OK. Main thing is between Compressor Outlet and Throttle Body.
Or one of correct size / dimensions for your need.
