Default turbo install on miata

ADD is kicking in while working on a couple school projects sooo heres what i've been up to the past few days... friend with miatagot all his turbo parts in on tuesday and he got to work. i came over thrusday night to help him remove his old exhaust manifold and install some lines and whatnot. friday i was there helping him for about 8 hours. tapped into the oil pan(huge PITA), installed the manifold, intake, turbo, and exhaust along with some other stuff. saturday i was there for about 4 hours, did some electrical stuff, tried figuring out the fuel system junk, and did some other stuff. he's working on the fuel junk right now while im stuck here doing a couple projects for school[:'(]

anyways, on tosome pics.



the owner crammed in there doing w/e..



BOO!

me struggling with the exhaust/turbo bolts...of course my friend helping out, thanks dude!

its about 20 degrees out, we have 2 space heaters, still way to f*ckin cold. i had 4 shirts on under my hoodie lol.

UFO! or...FPR? lol

such a b*tch drilling/tapping the pan...


might go over tomorrow night for some more work. were trying to get this thing back on the road before the weekend.

oh and i helped my friend replace 2 cv boots on friday morningon his EG and just did rear brake pads on my bros accord today. been a busy, but fun, weekend lol.
