some people use a bicycle innertube, I used a piece of dynamat I had lying around and it worked. Note: This did not fix the hesitation problem, just the CEL. If you do a search on the innertube thing, you will probably find a write up on it. If you're interested I have a Simota twin charger intake for the 1.6 which does not throw a CEL at all. If you do a search on Simota, you'll find that no one has ever had a problem with them. I also have a thunder header for sale.

yeah man, Hiboost kit on order, the proteges my project car now, I picked up a 2006 MX-5 GT last month so I'm trying to do get some of this stuff out right now. The intake has barely any miles on it and is in mint condition, I'll sell it for 50 bucks plus shipping, if you or someone you know is interested in the header, it has a built in CEL eliminator and fitment is perfect. Again almost no miles on it and I would like 275 for it but if you wanted both I could work a deal.

Haha, Neeraj, you didn't keep that stuff for very long! Good luck with the turbo project, though. I hope you don't have to wait as long as macdaddy did, you might end up with a Mustang, too.
And steve-o already has the header...and the Thunder exhaust. Uninstalled. So sell him the intake and we'll see how long that sits in his garage, too, lol.

Yes yes. That is very true. Couple that with not having the right tools to do the job and that equals S.O.L. Thats where money comes into play, which I don't have a lot of at the moment. So thats why everything is sitting till I get the tools/manpower/money to put everything on.
