I have a great idea.
Put that turbo in the green bin on your curb.
Then research this forum which holds a pleathora of turbos that bolt right up on miatas.

As an ease of manufacture/stock part, it is an interesting solution to making a realiable, simple, low boost setup. If you actually eant to go fast, yeah, it sucks (or rather, won't blow).

they're actually quite potent for what they are.
skittle owners beat them like redheaded stepchilds and they just keep on truckin, making tons of midrange torque and impressive power for how little they are.
240/300+ iirc on a basic pump gas setup
..and they spool at basically idle on the 2.4L
..but none of this makes up for how tarded OP is

This thread is now about turbo PT Cruisers.
First video, VS my brother's 2000 M Roadster:

Second video, VS new (at the time) 2009 WRX.

In both of these videos, the car had a 3" exhaust and a canned tune on a Diablosport Predator -- that's it.
Loved that stupid car.

I thought that was only in the "high output" model.
I read about it like 10 years ago, so im probably wrong.
but I was under the impression that the regular turbo model that was only like 180hp had the same motor as the n/a. And the "high output" 220hp had the upgraded srt4 motor with beefy rods and such.

the regular Turbo model (the 'Touring') had exactly the same hardware as the GT. Literally identical. If you did the Mopar Stage 1 tune on both cars, they ended up in exactly the same place. It was dumb.
Difference was, the Touring was available only in an automatic, and not available with the autostick function. And those autos were known for going kablooie, even at stock GT power levels.
