That is $3200 for just those 5 pieces of the kit, I left out the $500 on injectors, the $1000 on an ECU, $200 for wideband, $500 for exhaust, $300 for the intercooler, $150 on AN lines, $150 on coolant reroute, $150 on intercooler piping, $5000 on built motor, $750 on 6 speed, $300 for catch can setups, $350 for the clutch.
My first setup was a Begi S1 and it came in around $3500 or so to get running on my car.
The next DIY setup that I will am planning on making should cost me about $1500 to put 200whp down.
My point is that the price varies widely depending on what you want, what/who you know, and how fast you want it done.

He's probably not running becuse project cars like this are a timesink, and not all of us have all the time in the world.
Now run along and go read the stuff that was recommended to you.

OP: If you only have enough time to really think about one sentence in this entire thread, make sure that it's the following: You are not special.
Once you've read, understood, and REALLY accepted that fact, then I'd like to welcome you to the republican party, and wish you well on the path to self-enlightenment.
You want information, we have information. We don't have information because someone else spoon-fed that information to us, we have information because we earned information. In order to get information, you are going to have to earn it also. This doesn't mean we want you to mow our luscious green lawns all summer. This does mean that you are going to have to invest time into your own education on this site.
If you're not willling to put more money into turbocharging than your NA Miata is worth, then you probably aren't going to turbocharge it; or if you are going to turbocharge it for less, then you have mad fabrication skills, and you didn't ask the question posed in the original post of this thread.
It was nice having you around, we look forward to your return when the following two conditions are met:
1. You have cost expectations that are no longer on par with that of a high-schooler "tricking out his ryde"
2. You no longer expect other people to give you what you want simply because you are somehow "special".
Toodles!

2. I only asked what have you personally put together and what did it cost to get all the parts.
3.anything other than that is unwanted and just asking to stir up problems.

Selling the bimmer would be a major pain. But meh who knows. Maybe I'll throw up a feeler on craigslist and see if I get any bites.

The setup I will be working on next will be cheap because over the past 7+ years I have learned a metric **** ton. I will be building my manifold and exhaust from scratch in my garage. I will be using a ton of used parts that were acquired in back room poker games and parts that I have been hoarding for years. It will be an extremely reliable and well done setup, but not something that is doable without great skills, luck, and knowledge.

I have been through 5 different sets of injectors over a 5 year span. The $500 I spent on ID1000's were worth every penny, and anyone who has used ID injectors will say the same thing.
