Hi everybody,
I figure this would be the best place to learn everything I can about turboing my beloved Miata. I mean it has the works 'turbo' and 'miata' in the URL so I've got to be in the right spot. Looking to make 200HP and still be a daily driver. I don't have much dough so it's going to be a toughie. Thanks in advance for all the help and insight!

HOLY ****.

READ, SEARCH, POST. In that order.

Rick really needs to put a rule on the forum, no thread making privileges without visiting like 3 FAQ's or no thread making for 5 days after registering, that gives people enough time to browse and read.

I've been meaning to suggest to the mods that you guys make the location of any member mandatory at registration time. I totally agree with your position on the matter. How about it loki?

Thanks,

Rafa

A word of encouragement, I have a Montego Blue 96 myself with 63,000 miles on it and with the turbo kit installed and running and I can't believe it! If I (non DIYer and "mechanically challenged" individual to the core) can go around on a turbo Miata without blowing the motor anyone can! :gay:

You're in for a treat; these guys know their ****!

You can hate me all you want, but in the end we are the same.
