wow, cant get over that QA...shows how some "lemons" can be born. Good that you're doing it right with the build.
With forged internals are you planning on increasing the boost?

I'LL DRILL IT INTO YA!
Nah increased power is a 1 way ticket to unreliability. Forged internals are just a safety measure, and will hopefully last longer than the stockers did.

Parts have been balanced and gearbox is being refurbished + quaife is being installed. Just about ready to start putting it all back together.

Update time
I'LL DRILL IT INTO YA!
No updates lol. Turns out the machinist hadn't done the bits yet. Best news this week is my OCC, spark plugs and EGR delete arrived today.
Still going through this gearbox with a fine tooth comb. Mazda don't sell rebuild kits so bearings and other shit needs to be bought individually.

Old motor stripped and decommissioned.]
One troubling thing noticed on the old motor is oil getting past the injector seal on cylinder 2. This is a fairly high stress component being direct injected but I'd expect to see blow by gases here. Not oil.
Glad I am upgrading the injector seals in the new engine!

Is the old engine gonna be stripped down to see if it can be used for a rebuild.
