MKG's Custom Single Turbo Build

MyKindaGuise

Road trip to Visconti in Connecticut is scheduled for Friday! Going to be one hell of a ride home!

Also turbo blanket purchased. Small power steering leak found...will be resolved shortly. And cleaned up some more wiring in the engine bay today. Did take another idle video today...unsure of sound quality just yet.

Yeah its leaking at the inlet. The stock hose clamp doesn't look to be strong enough to handle the thicker hose. Bought a new SS hose clamp today that is able to be tightened. If that doesn't do it....we will use some sealant and hopefully make it air tight. Its barely leaking but its letting enough air in to where I get a faint whine when turning left.

Haha if you were under 30miles away I certainly would. Let me know if that's where yours is leaking. I wonder if SR changes any hoses like we did on mine.

hmm. Might be a similar issue. Which would suck. Luckily it isn't too bad.

new oring and stronger tightening hose clamps.

Ill grab a pic tomorrow where the leak was. It will look a little different as Pat made a custom inlet.

boosted_mx5

I put on an o-ring that was too big on then hammered that mofo in.

I just want to say that John and the guys at M R Performance are fantastic!
Really helpful. Ran into a few hang ups here and there with the car and they just let us work on the car and really spent the time to make sure we got what we came for. Honestly 10/10. Would recommend to anyone.

Final pull on 8lbs.
Had a boost leak. Still made 400whp351tq.
Still lots to work on before we turn up the boost. However we will see roughly 420-450whp @8lbs once a few changes are made with the leak and exhaust. Aiming for 10-12lbs max boost but I need to be careful. Not in a rush to blow it up.

Also the bits where I talk in the video. I am literally shouting as loud as possible because the car is that loud. I didn't think my phone would even catch it.lol It was louder than the shop owners open midpipe gtr.lol
