I was just going over the thing once more and realized there's JB weld holding one of the oil lines on. Guess I'm calling them tomorrow.

BTW does anyone have a coolant flow diagram for the Renesis? I have one for the 13B REW from the RX7 FD but can't find a Renesis one anywhere. BTW I'm not being lazy as I searched here, in the Mazda manuals and on the internet without success.

I ask as I want to put my mind at rest after some thinking on the basic theory/practice of turbo cooling. The siphon route looks quite long, needing to go through the engine, and the coolant at the TB take-off from the rear housing will be hotter than from the water pump. Also the coolant at the take-off will be hotter and at a lower pressure than a water pump take-off; this may not be an issue in operation as the turbo may be significantly hotter, but even so everything helps. This may seem over-thinking to some people, but I like to know what I'm doing.
