Yes DIY I think I may have sorted it now. I'm not going to move the TB intake side of the charger cus I have fitted an adjustable BOV amd I've made a solenoid to operate the bypass so I can effectively switch the boost from inside the car. When I say made the solenoid I actually wound the Cu wire by hand !

Post up some pics!

Here's a few Pics

Here's the car Lowered on Gaz Gold Pro's

Inside fitted a Fuel Air Gauge in the Air Vent

Just acquired a S/C from a car I previously owned - This is how it looked when I sold it

but has been sitting on a cliff top on the coast for last four years and this is how it looked when I found it -

so rotten as a pair but I gave the chap £750 so we could go down and strip it - I couldn't bring it home or the misses would have left me - eemmmm

So we set off in hire van a 6:00am and spent the day ripping into it....

This is how it looked when I left it

Anyway I think I got my money's worth.

Engine and Gearbox, LSD, some really unusual door cards with an arm rests and a pouch....

Got these seats

The picture doesn't do them justice they are mint condition and really nice leather! (that's not a mark on the seat where you sit - its a reflection)

I got a full stainless exhaust (front to back including manifold) with an extra welded bung for the wide-band

A really nice custom made Style Bar - really chunky (about 4" round) with tags welded and tinted toughed glass inserts for the windbreak - I'm selling that....

A set of Raybrig Head Lights

A set of Rota Cups 8" wheels - (two with good tyres) - selling

A wooden steering wheel chrome centre and Boss - selling

Anyway the next day I did this

And then a few days later I did this

Installed an old school Flyin Miata intercooler

I also wanted to smooth out the ride at low speeds and on the motorway because I'm running with the TB in the stock Position and protect the SC and the engine during gear changes when I'm booting it...

For low speed I fitted an Over ride on the Bypass

Its just a pull solenoid connected to a lever that pivots of a small bracket located on the Bypass adjuster screw...

To protect the engine from stalling by the backpressure on the SC I installed an adjustable Blow Off Valve (without the Vacuum pipe connected) wound pretty much all the way out.

You get the induction noise, the SC whine and the BoV during gear changes... and the de-cat duel exit exhaust - you know when I am coming!

 Hope this is of interest
