Updates!!!!
Its been an interesting 6 months and I would like to catch you guys up!!!
I stated stock piling parts, thinking BNRs or Single, what oil coolers, and what my goals were at this point. I had the itch to put her on the track, but wanted to maintain as many creature comforts as possible. Cruise, PS, and AC must stay, and I'm keeping the Bose rear base tube as well. on to the pics and the fun stuff.
Pic of the last setup:
I stayed like this for about 2 months. then the bug bit to get interior pieces cleaned up, aero, as well as go single and keep the temps down:
Oil coolers to keep dem temps Low son!!!
Aero goodies from SHINE

This is by far the easiest turbo kit I have ever installed!!! everything was unbelievably smooth.
HOWEVER...
it was too smooth...
This is the oil return
Subtle leak, but a leak none the less!
NOW- with all of it buton upped I took here to Rotary Performance and let Chris Ott work his magic!!!
BELOW ARE THE NUMBERS OF WHAT WE REACHED. GOAL ACHIEVED!!!

This thing spools unbelievably quick!!! I decided to sell the front mount- I miss the fog lights being on the car so I'm going a different direction
I personally think kevlar only looks good on blues and greens. (think primary colors ad what it take to get to green)
If I had silver, I would be rockin' CF or black
Had some other oil leak issues that I had to hunt down. Why Mazda made these in plastic is beyond me:
After tons of blue towels and Banzai Racing coming to the rescue, the OMP is gone and I will be getting my box of premix very soon from Rotary Performance.
BUT THATS NOT ALL FOLKS!!!
I had to give Alex Rodriguez a call as well... and I think we all know why:
Seems minor-right?...
I've already received my delete kit from the Rotary A-Rod and that will be going in this weekend.
Oh yeah, air pump is bye bye as well thanks to Pineapple racing...
Until next time gents!

Got the Driver/ passenger oil cooler parts in AND installed thanks to Howard Colman's writeup and parts list! other than that, I should be tackling the ABS delete tonight, and My fortune auto Coilovers very soon!!!
Brackets look like chit but it's definitely solid and ready to go!

Thanks My man!
100% bolt in using factory everything, and their kit is 100% emissions compliant. Luckily I live in a non-attainment county and I don't have an emissions issue!
