Allow me he plans to run a MS from braineack, he wants mid to low 200's in the hp range. He just got some 15*7 TR wheels. There will be another egay megan racing turbo setup up and running in KY. But he seems to have the silly notion that we will run an intercooler, go figure. I am still hoping to sneack a WI system onto there when he isnt paying attention :P

i've only been on here for a couple of days and im already a *****.... I'm a low maintenance kinda guy so i prefer not to have more on the car to fill up than i have to. so no WI or NOS. just wanna have a fun little ride. havent turned n e wrenches in a while and finally broke the V8 chain, just wanted a cheap project... no such thing, right? still the miata is a blast stock, so i cant wait to start building power.

Youre not a *****.......yet. Magna is.

WI = insurance

NOS = Faggetry

I wouldnt be surprise if you end up jumping in the WI wagon later down the road.

yeah magna mx keeps yammering on about it (WI). just want to make my turbo work first. seems simple enough tho. seems like i will also need a new clutch and rear end so add that to the list of needs too.

Yes, and probably a transmission eventually Since we all know you will eventually need MOAR BOOST. Welcome... *****.
