Where did you source the a/c fittings that bolt to the compressor? Awesome work, btw!!

Thanks for the compliments!

The AC fittings from the Mazda compressor actually worked with the CTSV compressor. I did a lot of digging trying to find a set. Even ordered what I thought were the correct ones but they didn't fit. I just tried the mazda ones and they fit! I just got lucky I guess...

I have to buy a really expensive tube of grease and put about 3 pumps in there at every oil change from what I am told. We will see how that works out...

Funny, I sent him a PM on those before I got to the second page. I guess I should have waited. So they are just factory Miata line parts then, or a different Mazda?

I bought some AC fittings that didn't fit from a place somewhere online but can't remember exactly where. My credit card receipt says "Universal Parts" out of IA. That may be the parent company or something. When looking for them, I googled the part number for my compressor and found some results for fittings...
The following forum has a pretty good writeup on sourcing the lines.

The stock lines off a 2007 Miata work with it I know. You can probably do like the guy in the thread did and just look up lines for different cars that use that same compressor until you find some with the correct orientation for your application.

I have made a little more progress...
Mounted a sensor to monitor exhaust pressure. This will be used to determine turbo drive pressure.

Also mounted a pyrometer


Got the final piece built for the turbo charge piping. Got it wrapped, the blow off valve installed in the fenderwell, and put on the car!
