Well i don't have a capacitor i have a 1.8 no need for it that is only a 1.6 thing from my understanding . There is a nice write up on miataturbo look for Braineack . I plan on coping his from the write up .

An mortal i sent you that pic of the fuse box did you get it and did you get the plugs and pigtails with your cops .

Oh OK i thought you got everything for 18 bucks that would be a hell of a deal . I paid 75 for the coils & pigtails and then 100 for the harness and another set of coils . So i have a backup set if i need them . I also have 2 sets of coil 4 wire coil packs (backups) . Just picked up another ITB set up going to try and get the car running this weekend and install the ITB's with in another week or 2 or when i can get the MS looked at .

After you drive with the itbs for a while, let me know what you think as far as daily driving. I mean toyota had a corolla with factory itbs and a 6 speed tranny that they offered. I dont see why you wouldnt be able to daily a miata with itbs.

Also, I should be done with my little "project" today, I'll post pics when I finish. and did you get my text asking you what the single wire between the alternator and starter is? I cant find a single connector or tab anywhere and it's not the one that goes on the starter.

You talking about the wire with the round connector on the end , there also is a single spade connection next to the oil filter . I have a single green (i think) wire with a round connector on the end that i believe goes to the A/C . Today when i get home i need to check my wires on the cops harness i think i have something backwards seeing as i can crank the car in the 1st key position . Only thing i can think of is my signal and tach or ground wires are swapped .
