When I turbocharged the miata a few years back, I had installed these injectors which were plug and play with no issues and performed flawlessly. They were ev14s @ 460cc for the miata

Quite a few things.
IRPERFORMANCE will be performing a full rebuild with their signature stage 3 porting, upgrading the fuel system to their step up kit includes: ( ID 2000cc Secondaries, secondary FFE Fuel Rail, fuel regulator), upgraded fuel pump, installing a Greddy V-mount, Dyno tune, and addressing any other issues that show concern.

Don't see an BW EFR on that list, or is that an "other issue"
Just saw this build thread. My first fd was montego blue. Its a great color when kept up properly. Yes the car is coming to us for a professional build and some tlc. I had the pleasure of meeting Gerald at Deal's Gap last year. In this industry we understand that there are several choices of who you allow to service your car. We are very honored that the car is coming all the way to us up in NJ.

What Irperformance indicated why my motor blew:
It was a complete rebuild with new housings and rotors from mazda individually. I have the receipt from the previous owner and the shop the built it in Sarasota.
Irperformance discovered that the Endplay was too loose because the rear spacer was grinder/sanded down and reused.
The Irons had too much heat
The catalytic converter melted
The crank angle sensor was over sighted and the bracket was broken so it wasn't reading the trigger wheel accurately.
Ultimately the apex seal chipped from detonation.
If Irperformance wants to comment, please feel free to clarify even further.

Pretty much except the irons luckily didn't fail. The rear plate had evidence of high oil temperatures, not surprisingly as its a Florida car with a single oil cooler with many of its fins flattened. We installed 2 better condition R1 oil coolers to help bring the temps down.
The crank angle sensor was overtightened and cracked, allowing it to move around. This affected timing and caused the motor to detonate, chipping the apex seal.

The Oil Mixing Pump was heavily scored. Its being replaced with a new one.

The BNRs have minor chipping on the front turbine. They were built to withstand a apex seal shooting through them. BNR checked them out and confirmed that they are good to go and do not need a rebuild.

Rear turbine looks like it never even happened
