        **Update**
        Well once again I changed my mind and Im redoing the turbo manifold again. I didnt like the idea of a custom radiator support and how far out that miata manifod stuck out. So im going to weld in a oem support, make a manifold to clear the radiator in the stock position. Im just trying to get this car done and back on the road, and now I want to make the car look as stock as possible.
        Also I took the GTX motor and trans out so I can Rhino Line the engine compartment and drop in the built bp so I can get this thing painted. Im so axious to drive it with the t3 and built motor. Once the everything is done then I can afford standalone.

          jgsturbo.com has what you might want for pretty cheap. Or I have a couple bpt manifolds here, could sell one for what 40-50 bucks+shipping.
          '90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and
          '90 AWD Protege, yet another GTR swap, Open class rallycar with a Toyota GT4 gearbox swap, thus crossing the line between hobby and mental illness. And a Brabus E55 K8, removing all doubt.

              LOL!.. Im keeping the jdm stuff. The car will remain the same on the outside, Im just going back to a stock radiator core support. I was going to move my radiator forward to clear the miata turbo manifold but now im making a manifold to fit the way I want it to. Im also making heatshields to clean everything up and give it that more stock appeal.

                W0w very thorough job so far my friend! I'm new here but a regular on feoa.net. I'm running a stock gtx in an escort gt currently. I'm curious what cars came stock with a VF-10 turbo? I like the rhino lining idea too. Gives me ideas for my next build. Are you just towing the rolling chasis up to some truck bed lining place and asking them to line the engine bay as a favor haha or do they commonly line engine bays with rhino liner as well?

                      I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.
