I have a '94 1.8 Miata. I've been wanting to turbo for a while and I recently got a Garrett GT40, checked serial numbers Imani it is genuine. I do want to keep power steering and AC. Where do I go from here? What parts are the best for 1.8 with a Garrett gt40? The whole process seems slightly overwhelming and any help is appreciated.

1. Manifold, downpipe, exhaust
2. ECU - MS2 or MS3
3. Injectors, flowforce EV14 or ID1000
4. intercooler and piping
5. BOV
6. wideband & GM IAT sensor

put all that on the car, tune and boost away.

I do believe GT40 is a huge turbo for the miata though... GT28 is a better size.

not sure if this would even remotely work with a miata.

I still don't understand the point of this thread ??? Is this an HSN advertisement?

That turbo sucks for use on a Miata. That's what they are telling you. Read the DIY FAQ thread before going further and you will be much better equipped to move forward.
