This man speaks the truth

Stay away from the MS unless you know what you're doind 100% with it or know someone who does. I am NOT a fan of it at all but there are people on here that use it an know it well and are professional - Rotary Prophet comes to mind

1) is bridgeporting the aux ports worth the time?

Not if you want to drive it on the street

Should follow the rotors - S5 = 8k but in reality you'll run out of breath before that on a "street" turbo motor. 8k+ you should think about balancing. Wish I had actually, but I was too impatient.

I would think twice about doing that, especially with an MS. If you had something that was known to control the ignition properly and accurately then I would say go for it, but personally I don't trust the MS, maybe becuase I've never used it buttttttt like I said, Talk to Rotary Prophet, he seems to be the only one who really knows his shit about the MS

Nope, not enough, figure something else out and don't just wire them open either.

GXL or even better, grab a Torsen from a Miata, you will NOT regret it I promise. Between that rear and the no rear bar, my ass is perfectly predicatble..... even though it gets way too loose too easy but what can ya do about that
