so finally got another single cam and decided to boost it and finish my manifold. the manifolds runners ended up being to short and could not fit the turbo elbow in as it was to close to the tranny. i had to extend it so please excuse the welds i wen from the nice miller at work to harbor freight :/. but the main thing is IT WORKS!!! lol, i am just waiting on intercooler and piping to finish putting everything together and then ill have a test drive video heres some pics
if everything works perfect i will be making another one thats not welded in the middle and has the correct deminsions now that i have them

Function over form.... but sometimes cheapness over function is ok lol
It might even flow better than a JGS since there is an exhaust plenum? lol
You can always upgrade in the future if it bugs you.
Looks like it cost about 30 bucks and a few hours of work

A+ for designing and fabing something yourself, but holy moly!
when i saw the turbo bolted on i had to go back as i thought it was an intake manifold.
basic concepts are small size and less thought about flow, or long with great flow. it seems neither were addressed as its large and square.
not sure what you used for the body of the manifold but that much surface area before a turbo will surely get nearly red hot and the likely hood of material failure is way up there

thanks man. i know its a little out of control but it seems to work so far, but on the first drive the turbo actually blew so now im waiting on a inlet and outlet for my t28 and once i have that ill put it on and post some driving vids.
before the turbo blew though i was hitting full boost by like 2700-3000 but i didnt really get to drive very far to really see how well it performed :/
heres a pic of the setup in the light lol
also the turbo i was running was a 2871r journal bearing

update
so put the t28 i had on and it also blew with in 20 mins of driving. fml but finally found out the reason my oil feed line was kinked and those no oil for the turbo.
so i am in need of a turbo and injectors and some kind of tune if anyone has any of that stuff :/ and oil feed line

actually i did try and diagnosis it but the first turbo already had had supposed problems and was ebay so i figured it was that.....but dont worry i have another one coming and will be on with in the week or so.
then i will post a video so you can see how said "square manifold" sucks when from what i could tell with the t28 doesnt but thanks

i personally think this is awesome. you know what your getting into, it sounds like this is just a fun car you play around with and not a car you must use to get to work everyday. So enjoy it and keep up the DIY

Thanks guys.
Well so I put the new oil line on and turbo and everything seemed cool, but ran into a few issues with it leaking but found out it just wasn't as tight as I thought it was :p
Also now that it's finally fully up and running took it up and down the street a few times and it's was burning oil hellllllla bad lol and could not figure it out. I had thought the turbo was bad but it wasn't then thought it was my return line was backing up but no again.
Turns out it was my pcv and the crank case was being pressurized but from what I read people just plug it on the intake manifold and run the line to a catch can and I did that and seems to have fixed the problem.
Will that be ok? Cause I read it on a DIY miata turbo forum figured it was pretty close to the same situation.

yeah hes got it right. i think he was talking about plugging the intake manifold where the PCV used to go.
yeah i just run my PCV to atmosphere too.
