thanks for all the pictures, it appears you have the hybrid dist/cas from a miata, and a fm link ecu to run your car.
im curious as to why you pull oil from your head for the oil feed line opposed to the back of the block like stock on the f2t
Brandon
ps did you buy or have that manifold made, or build it yourself.

Brandon, you wouldn't, do NOT do that, your turbo will NOT like it. Link ECUs are common in NZ, because they are from here. FreeEMS will change that, though.
low n slow, move your oil feed to the block there is not sufficient pressure in the head to supply the turbo properly...
The turbo will not last well like that.
Fred.

Wicked build, would really like to have something like that! Do you have a idea of the weight of it? Sub900kg?
One more thing, what is the best place to get the oil-feed from, for the turbo on our motors?

Always take the oil from the block, not the head. The head has lower pressure due to the restrictor pressed into the block. Journal turbos require pressure and should never be used with any restricted feed.
