So, the trip up to PR Motorsports went well. I got the oil changed with Mobile One full synthetic. Actually, Rick was very nice and comp'd me the oil change.

The code that was pulled was the same as before: EGR flow insufficient. And this is after having the EGR valve changed. So, no one quite knows what is wrong at the moment. Rick called up Flyin' Miata and they'll get back to him if they know anything.

For now, I've been told it doesn't really affect anything other than getting the car smogged. Naturally, I have until May to get the car smogged. Heh.

However, that does mean that I can run it full on. And boy does it fly! I'd forgotten how good flooring it feelins in the low gears. One of these days I'll have to get it dyno'd to get some good, hard numbers. But until then, just know that it's a kick in the back. Although, 1st gear is still a bit uncontrollable. That is, it tends to just spin the wheels. ;)

In any case, I'll be scheduling a longer visit soon. This visit will also include a full turbo tuning with Flyin' Miata recommendations. That should be fun. I'm not sure yet if I'll up the boost or not, but I think a little should be safe enough with the built engine. It has rods in it that are stronger than the ones they use on their 2.0L stroked engines. ;)
