air intake on turbo conversion. (Yes I searched)
Hey!
Ok, here's my deal. I've turbo'd my N/A. New engine's in, new trannies in, wiring is almost done, new computer's ready to go. Just need a throttle cable and a boost sensor/gage and she's pretty much ready to take off the jack stands for the first time in about 2.5 months and see if she runs. (If anyone wants to sell these parts at a reasonable price to a poor female Auto tech student please let me know!) But here's the question...
What do I do about the air intake?
I'm told the stock box and snorkel from my N/A will still work fine. I have a turbo AFM to go into it but what do most people do about the ducting that goes from the AFM to the turbo itself? And it looks like it must have to hook onto a few other inlets on the engine as well.
If the answer is make your own does anyone have step by step with pics? Can anyone help me here? I want to drive this thing this summer. I only have about 5 months to spend with it as it is.
Oh and does anyone have a pic or discription of how the throttle cable runs? We can't figure out how it will run when I get it. The instructors here don't know rotary. (And they tell me they don't want to
Any help is greatly apreciated. Thanks in advance,
Tempest

I bought the proper duct from Mazdatrix. If your talking about what you said, the duct that goes b/t the afm and the turbo inlet. It sounds like you might be missing some parts in that area, like the air bypass valve (blow off valve) that also connects to that duct b/t the afm and turbo inlet. http://www.mazdatrix.com/d5.htm
Try E-Mailing this fellow EBargainLLC@Yahoo.com and explain what you need. He sells things on E-Bay.
OR, go to the For Sale/Wanted place on this site and advertise for what you need.
