new guy s/c question (i know this is a turbo forum)
Hey everyone my name is jared 23 yr old with a bone stock 1.6 miata 90
i dont know anything about supers or turbos except their main purpose
but i am a do it yourselfer who reads and ask and what not to make sure i do it right (why i am here)
i beleive i found a good deal on a sc and wanted to see what you guys thought
Is is an incomplete eaton kit and asking price is only $175
i received this email with these pics
"It came off of a 1.6. I found a blower case with factory warrenty for a good price, and am selling this case.
It will need some of the "supporting parts". Most, if not all can proably be purcahsed form guys that have "upgraded" to higher performance pieces.
Some of the parts you will need;
outlet manifold
crossover tube
dummie throttle body
block off plate
misc. hose connectors and clamps"
so what do ya guys think?
how much do ya think the rest of the parts will cost me?
should i snag this now while i can or pass cuz other parts woult be expensive?
thanks
jared

Items such as: Blower mount for your year, crossover, some sort of fuel management(can be more expensive than a MS unit), throttle bracket that goes with the throttle adaptor for the back of the blower(Pain in the *** btw), and worse than sourcing all these is going to be finding/collecting all the little pieces of hardware that make it all happen. There are more items to add to that list, trust me.
All of this stuff put together gives you a miata that is: Still slow as ****, worse on gas mileage, all ways making some sort of strange noise that makes you think your car is falling apart, HORRIBLE idle(A/C makes it spaz and do a dance), high intake temps, requires alot of money and tuning(standalone only) to make decent numbers.
Ask me how I know
Begi S-kit is so worth the money if you're new to the boost game.

I'm one of those supercharged guys that these turbo boys love to hate. What do you want to do with the car? Daily drive, Track, AutoX other? If its the first two then I agree with these guys, go turbo. If you want to go supercharger and you buy that setup you will need to be either real good with sourcing the rest or fabricating parts. The fuel management they talk about you will need with either turbo or super.
Do your research, don't just jump on this for the price.
