sometimes you get that error if you're using a lame program like IE or Netscape to do FTP and the FTP has too many users. A real ftp program would auto-reconnect for you and would also tell you "too many users" not just "duh... error"

Anyhow, just keep trying.

I increased my number of users from 6 to 10, hopefully that will let more people in

max: Seals are two piece mazda seals as far as I remember...

that's a "secret spec" turbo from a local shop. I took it apart and measured and inspected everything and from what I can tell.... "secret spec" means 60-1 wheel, 0.70 housing, P trim exhaust, and .84 housing. Some secret huh? Oh well. I'm interested to see how the .84 turbine housing works on the bridge. The dyno will tell the tale!

yeah... I am thinking that turbo is a little light for that application, but it should spool like mad, I loved where the compressor started to kick to every combustion event, really neat....Keep us up to date, and yeah sounds wicked....Max

Well here is the thought on the turbo... My feeling is the exhaust housing will be too small and you need a 1.15 or 1.32. Rob/Pineapple told my friend on the phone that the .84 is OK because it will spool sooner and help fill in the torque in the midrange where the bridgeport might not do so well.

We'll see.....

I am running a p-trim 1.15 on a streetport right now, with stock ports it had some lag, but with the large streetport, it spools alot like a stock TII turbo, basically whenever I touch the gas I build boost now, I am thinking reversion with .84 is gonna be a problem, and the 60-1 may not deliver enough airflow on the top end for the full bridge... But give 'er a try and see what happens.....
Razorback... still waiting for the TV51 to come in the mail....poor mailman, that thing must wiegh 40 lb,s.......Max

copy the URL ftp.zeroglabs.com and paste it into Internet Explorer (or whatever browser you use), then there will be a prompt asking you to enter a username and password, just type in rx7 in both tect boxes.

Definitely go at least the 1.15 ar. on the exhaust side. The .84 will probably choke the car on the top.
