I'll be using a e-manage blue.
I'll be willing to travel a little if they can tune it right.
Been looking for one close by but no one in the city seems to dynotune.

If you guys go over to Supertech ask them about the design of the piston face-- where the material is thin and dies (after detonation and piston melting). I talked with some guy there-- he sounded ethnic european.

I already have a emb still in it's plastic bag. I was going to use it w my pnp 99 head w/jrsc. But that blew up before I had a chance to install it. I'll probably upgrade to megasquirt when I decide to go turbo. But for now I'm trying to go low budget. My other projects might get jealous if I spend too much at once. Lol.

Not on the bitmap posted here:
https://www.miataturbo.net/forum/t37356/#post433338
Which shows P4-MA790-N10 for both (with nearly 2 points of compression ratio difference!).
I want to say this number is correct for the lower compression, and that the high compression pistons are just N1 at the end, but can't find anything with a websearch off the bat.
I'll have to call.
I DID just find some 8.5:1 compression pistons though...just need to check availability.

JasonC SBB: are you going to have Steve Cardelli to build your motor? Looks like we have the same parts according to your post.

Cardelli is a good 45 minute drive away for me.
I took my stuff to Victory Machine in SJ which is 10 minutes away. Pricier, popular with the local V8 crowd, but convenient.
