While the manifold is being worked I ordered some turbo bolts online... could not find these guys in any store... I had to use a longer screw with washers to hold them in place... So I only needed 4 but I got 25... just in case!
Also another goodie I got but have yet to install are these fresh new NRG hood dampers made for carbon fiber hoods! cannot wait to get these suckers on.
Got good news the manifold is ready so it will be all going back together Thursday!!! Hope it goes well.

Got the manifold back and its welded up and sealed up... thanks a lot Joey! great work as always.
wastegate going back in too, hard as hell getting this sucker back in complete like this with the manifold and DP still on from the top of the car... but It went in.
got my HKS carbon exhaust I picked up from Theorie can't wait to get this sucker on.
Everything back in and ready to get started! took longer than expected but I changed all the nuts on the turbo and painted the turbonetics logo red!
And after a dead first pull since my battery was dead... connected it to another rx7 and....
After playing with the FPR and the Idle she is Idling like a champ! any worries I had about the motor being shot seamed to fade away. (but still should do a compression test)
She even went for a small ride around the block but taken it easy with no boost since its not all configured yet!
SOOOOO after all this I am happy as hell she is finally up and running... but There are always some glitches, and another popped up! A oil leak from the block where my feed it coming from! and hoping the smoke on the manifold is still from the oil all over the place and that I do not have leak on there too... but ITS ALIVEEEE!!!!!!
