I didnt do any of the work on the blue one.

On the white it was running 7psi fine. till the turbo seized.
The problem with turboing the mivec is the amount of valve overlap as for a NA car this is good but for a turbo your loosing boost pressure. So adjustable cam gears was my first point of call.
Next is some custom camgears with a standard lower lobe and and planning for stage 3 for the mivec lobe.
But will be switching the Mivec from being RPM activated to Boost pressure activated
