ILOVETACOTACO Turbo Kit
#43
I know that one of the fastest stock motor miata on mt.net has a ebay turbo. So yes people hate on ebay parts because many parts suck. Used turbo kits for sale here are always a better buy. But try it out and be smart about the tune and you might have a fun 200whp miata with not much coin. This site is full of good info once you read a bunch..
Look up member by name. Dcvn. He did a lot of custom work on ebay kit but he got some real good results. Nothing on ebay is bolt up and good to go. If you cant fabricate or weld I would just get a used kit. I got some turbo parts for sale all name brand if your interested. Good luck.
But you redeemed yourself in post 42.

Lol . Man you drank that hateraid today 18. I remeber a long time ago when you where just starting with turbo miatas . You wanted to meet my friend sleepermx5 in sac. You know the guy with 300whp 1.6 miata. Lets just say when I met him his miata was stock. So I never get mediocre parts. I been in the turbo miata game for a long time. But some people just like to talk junk for no reason. If hks garrett and artech is mediocre then yes thats me.

not to be an A hole but... I do not understand this at all. There is a sticky in this section giving you plenty of reasons to pass on this kit. two threads down from this thread there is one warning you about buying an ebay turbo kit. so you directly quote that thread in the title of this new pointless thread asking if you should get one.

Check out the Begi shanghai starter kit(churbo but it seems to be somewhat reliable and comes with a decent cast manifold that is proven to work well)
eBay IC (prepare for some fab work and fitment issues)
Don't cheap out on engine management! Megasquirt is cheap and there is a ton of support for it on this forum. Start learning how to tune before the turbo install otherwise you can run into serious issues and possible destroy your motor.
Read the DIY FAQ!!! This was incredibly helpful to me and I still refer to it while I continue to sort out my build plan.

Everything I mentioned in my post was found on this site from searching, the reason these guys are messing with you is that they've dealt with this question numerous times and are tired of having to repeat themselves over and over. I'm not trying to put you down or anything like that but have you searche? Read the DIY Faq? Read threads of note in beginners luck? These will answer 95% of any questions you may have. It takes a long time but it's worth it. These guys who are screwing with you have contributed soo much USEFUL info to this forum with write ups and build threads that makes it easier for people like you and I to build a system that will function properly on a budget. They've went through the hard part of trail and error to make life easier for the rest of us, when a question that has been asked a million times is asked again they will have some fun.
Good luck with whatever route you choose to go, just take the time to research and it will save you time and money in the end.
