Default Polish_Ambassador's Tiny Turbo Build

So after over 2 years of owning my Miata I finally decided to turbo it. I've been wanting to for awhile now (especially since my first car was an SR20 S13 and fell in love with everything about it) and have been getting my car ready for it little by little over the years. So let me catch all of you up to what my Miata was to what it is now. I purchased it April 1, 2015, it was a "gold package" according to the dealer sticker that came with the car (which was pretty cool), this meant the emblems were gold, LSD, Leather blah blah blah. It had 140k miles and was quite clear it was repainted previously, I also believe the engine was replaced at some point but can't for sure call that one. The only modification it had was a FM front strut and e30 gold BBS wheels which were pretty cool at the time. The very first thing I did to the car was slap on some tien street coilovers (the not so adjustable ones), these ride great and haven't had a prob with them since. All the other mods I lost track of the order so let me just write it up, top will be the older modifications.

DDM Works intake
steel braided lines for brakes and clutch
real oil pressure gauge and 1.6 cluster
IL center consol
test pipe
Cobalt exhaust
RB adjustable sway bar end links
NB control arms Front and Rear
ES bushings in rear rubber in front
protege valve cover
f1 flywheel
1.6 tan dash
mishimoto rad
Homemade engine mounts
01-05 sport bront brakes
wilwood prop valve
theres probably more but I cant remember everything

Things i've replaced on the car to freshen it up recently to justify going turbo
Fuel pump
MPACT clutch from RA (NB4 someone tells me to get an excedy)
rear main
valve stem seals
cam seals
waterpump
timing belt
crank seal
injectors
FPR
thermostat
some other small things probably


the pictures posted show my car currently along with a T25 set up I picked up tonight.

So what's with the username? Are you actually him, or you just like the music, or you have no idea what I'm talking about?
