I'll probably regret asking this question. But first, I'm not used to forums and I tried to look for my answer before asking a redundant question. I understand I'll probably run into issues, but I want to go cheap as possible without waiting awhile. The MKTurbo kit seems the best for its buck but I don't have the patience. Does anyone on here have personal experience with the CX turbo kit off ebay? Roughly $1,400.

Apologies if this has been asked too many times.

You'll have plenty of patience after you blow something up with cheap parts. Do your research and build something you're proud of.

The MKturbo kit is probably the best budget kit available. Other options are maybe FM's no-electronic offerings.
Or build your own kit piecemeal, but that will take even longer.

Oh you.

His sig looks like strike 2. I really hope he doesn't live in my town. It's a small state.

You can't boost a miata reliably quickly for cheap. The CXRacing setup has a poorly fitting manifold that will probably need modification. It has a turbo that is not properly sized for the miata. The downpipe is pretty crappy. The IC pipe routing requires cutting into your shell.

The only companies who may be able to ship a turbo setup within a week would be TSE if Savington has turbo's on hand, and FM, but I believe even they have a few weeks lead time.

A lack of patients is something you will have to get over, if you are going to turBo ANYTHING.

Lurk moar. Nothing pisses the regulars of a forum off more then asking to be spoonfed. If you don't like reading, find videos on youtube on the FM kits to get an idea of what is involved.

Lack of patience to.... save another couple hundred for something designed for your car by someone who has been an important part of the community for years and ensures that the kit actually fits and works well?

Please clarify.

So to give you an actual answer... I have it and am happy so far. I just put im my FM1 clutch this weekend so I haven't been able to push it yet. There were a couple pains during install, but nothing deal breaking. Its very stoutly built.

did you really just say the cxracing trubo kit is stoutly built? are you comparing it to your permanently flaccid *****?

Are we talking about the thin wall log manifold that has cracked hundreds of times? Or is it the long tube "thick walled" version that seems to be at least a little better? From what I've gathered, quality on the long tube version is much better, but fitment is not up to par.

I'm actually curious what his build experience turns out to be. Would be pretty mind blowing if CXR actually did something like this right...

there are plenty of documented builds with the new long tuber manifold from CX

I've only seen pat weld his up like 10 times, but he's especially hard on things. I have no interest in cheaping out. More curious if they actually started to figure **** out yet. I was guessing they didn't.
