| Whoops, these studs, this manifold, and this turbo were not engineered to go together so some modification is needed\ |
 |
| offending stud has been cut shorter |
 |
| Stage 8 locking hardware, keeps the studs from backing out |
 |
| Installing studs using two nut method |
 |
| I had to tap new holes in the compressor housing to utilize the stock wastegate actuator bracket in new orientation for the miata build. Also threaded and shortened actuator rod to account for new arrangement. This is because when this turbo was on a Nissan, the three rotating parts of it were oriented in completely different ways because it was mounted differently on the engine and the compressed air shot up, instead of down, towards the engine. |
 |
| I had to "oval" out one hole on the cast outlet to have it fit over the nissan T25 exhaust flange |
