n00b lurk master Fr3$h
Decided to say Hey. Long time lurker. Name is Jeff. From the Dirty South state of Mississippi. Not new to miatas by any means. Have had a few over the years.
Currently own a 99 which is undergoing a turbo 13b swap (Terrible idea by the way)
Also posses this POS stockish Na6 with some lame *** 15x10s stizanced out like fat Oprah on a hoveround.
Sorry for any eye pain that the above has caused.

Yeah pretty much. Had the car almost 24hrs. Got it home checked over everything, made a few 2nd/3rd gear blasts up to 5k just to see how it spooled. Went for a crusie on the highway, dropped to 4th and rolled into the throttle and BOOM! First time I actually put the pedal to the floor in exploded. Not gonna lie I was pretty bummed about it.

What do we know about the new 2.0 Miata motors? Do they have a similar problem with the rods? Do we know what the stock motor will handle before rods or other stuff fails?
Does anyone make upgraded parts like pistons, rods etc? Boosted NCs are not really that common yet...

There's no way he was anywhere near close to what that motor will take.
This was a case of a bad tune or a mechanical failure elsewhere.

I was planning on getting my local tuner to take a look at the maps, and do a few dyno pulls to be sure, but I didn't get a chance.
I was under the impression the later 2.0s had a forged crank, forged rods, new/better designed pistons and wrist pins.

He said it was professionally tuned, did not say where. He didn't install or tune the turbo setup. He had it all professionally done, so I wasn't to worried about a possible backyard hack job.

It does.
Which is why the PO clearly left you a steaming coiler.
