    Hehe; I have actually made a billet aluminum one on a CNC mill 9 years ago for a WR450 dirt bike engine in order to be able to run a cam angle sensor (stock one is magnesium and paper thin, so we could not reliably mount it). It was a pain, NOT looking forward to it. Fun thing is that I plan to 3D print a removable front cover though...

    @Professor Dwight: Very nice! Representing the m45 Miata's properly! Did you polish the outlet on the supercharger? Looks great. I've considered doing a brushed finish.

    @jormungandr: Jeo, bruh, why did you post something that sexy with out a NSFW disclosure. Absolutely love Blue Jay, muse material right there gentlemen...take notes.

    Thanks! I didn't polish the S/C, but somebody did. I lightly polished the intake to "match", though.
