6-7 seconds time mark. You are experiencing what sounded like a "duck call" or lazy BOV operation.

What Blow Off Valve (BOV) is installed ?

#Eagle - haha, yep, Gizmo is right. This movie was filmed by Canon eos 550d and this camera got weakness like You hear - autofocus is very loud on movies.

Next mod - front suspension is lower about 30mm by Jamex's springs. Photo was shoot directly when I went from mechanic, so now it's looks better, lower:

And one of the Mirage's weakness (that I heard) - front shock absorber cushions were changed to KYB's

And got problem. My engine is saying "bye, bye", taking about 800-900ml of oil for 1000km so it's time to fix it. It's got still power like one year ago but oil is disappear fast as fuel. I'm looking for piston rings. In Poland of course it's unobtainable in aftermarkets and OEM's price isn't nice - about 350$ for set. Not for my pocket :). So can I buy piston rings from 4g61 N/A engine? Or maybe from Lantra J-1 engines? Is it the same piston rings like in 4g61T? Or maybe I should buy something like that - http://www.ebay.com/itm/321131902180?it ... e4&vxp=mtr ?

4g61 NA and turbo show same part number, stands to reason that J1 rings would work, but ...
The thread above has many good part numbers and brands to try. Given how fast the Black Widow went with stock rings, hopefully you can find some, even if it means sourcing from Japan/Mitsu Japan.

Are you sure the turbo is not using/leaking oil? That could be a $60 kit from eBay to correct.

#Eagle - I'll be looking for something... available in Poland. Not anybody sends parts worldwide, so it's a problem. If I don't sell Mirage (got buyer - son of first Polish owner of my Mirage who got it from 1991 to 1995 if I remember) I will be repair it.

PS: got something for You. I owe You a VIN of my Mirage :). More on PM.
