Josh, i know you are well educated with the Honda crowd, but, the JRSC on the Miata is mounted what we refer to as "hotside", meaning the s/c is NOT taking place of the intake manidolf like 99%of the other kits using roots blowers do. With the stock crossover tube, intake temps can reach upwards of 300*F. So in that case, i'd take 5psi of cold air vs 8psi of hot air. Intake temps are cool enough to bring the temp of the intakemanifold itself close to ambient. Thus my justification of the intercooler. Throttle response isnt so bad either... boost is there as soon as i touch the pedal

Not to be an ass, but i dont know how much Mazda stuff you know... but if you knew any of that..well, i just took 5 min for nothing lol. I did need that bumper to allow the intercooler i wanted to run and help get more air to the radiator. I will be getting the flaired/agressive side skirts and a new wing to go with it soon

Damn, i feel bad about threadjacking this... SORRY!
