Can I put a turbo on miata without intercooler?

What a great idea 
Water injection works, but it should be used as a supplemental system at most. I really like it myself, but no way would I NOT use an intercooler when turboing something.
Can it be done? Of course! If you're on a budget and not going for much power, you can definitely skip the BOV and IC. You'll want more power eventually though, so you'll have to replace the piping with an intercooler. After, you could try a WI setup, but have to understand how risky it is.

No, but I dont need to destroy an engine from running out of water in boost or inject too much water (again) accidentally to know it happens.
Like I said, I'm a fan of water injection, but instead of an intercooler? Thats pretty shady. Again, WI is a supplemental setup, not a passive setup.

But hell a damn 200+whp miata will put u in the ER rather easily if you dont pay attention to it either so hmm seems to me they call to the same type person.

So my prior success has been a fluke? If a dumb boy in KY can do it what can't anyone else serius man just cause ur to scared to try **** u shouldnt stear others away. If we all did that then no one would have gotten past the kits offered on these cars. I do believe to run a WI setup it takes half a brain and to maintain it is simpler than slap a IC in the front overheat ur motor cause ur rad is to small and u have to run ur AC then spin bearings cause u use regular rotella oil that broke down almost completle about 50 miles after u stuck it in the car. "Oh no oil lasts atleast 3k miles" WI is fine as a standalone complex dude u just have to pay attention.

It also helps to be able to understand someone with proper grammar
. I can barely tell what you're saying.
