Hey there everyone...

Is there a link to some sort of article that would serve as a primer for someone wanting to do his own project??

I don't need to know the basics. I know what a turbo does

I'm looking for something a little more intermediate...Like when I look at a turbo online.. what do the numbers mean? a/r? things like that.

Can anybody help?

I can't help with turbo specs per say, but if you're looking for good primer info for building your own kit, take a look at Braineak's DIY turbo FAQ. It has a bunch of good info about turboing the Miata in particular. Have fun!

Just remember that a T3 60 trim with a .48 a/r turbine side is all you need

emerilnut

Learn to read the maps and decide for yourself what turbo you need.

then read my faq and learn a little more.

Oh, I've read it more than a few times. Believe me. VERY informative. Thank you SO much for doing that. It took my 1,000 questions and reduced it down to 200.

It's just than when I got to looking at sites for the purchase of a turbo, I was seeing these numbers and specs and then my eyes would glaze over, my brain would lock up, and I'd start drooling on myself. I was like an overloaded PC.

That's a great link. Thank you.

It's kinda like the turbo bible.
