Default German-Newbie-MiataTurbo-attempt

Hi Guys,
im from germany and currently i am building my first miataturbo with small Steps.
First step was buying a used MS PNP Pro (ebay US) a Bosch 4,9 Wideband with Spartan2 Controller and an open Airtemp Sensor of a 320d (BMW).
Next step will be:
-dyno the oem power
-learning to programm the MS and reproduce or exceed the standard power
-turbocharging the car without opening the engine (small turbo and power up to 200rwhp) hoping to improve the MS-programming skills
-Open the engine and looking for a higher HP-output
My Car: MX-5 Silver Blues 1,9 VVT Widebody by Postert Hero 5

Ausgezeichnet!

That is the first Miata I have ever seen that looks good on 17 inch wheels. It's a very clean and beautifully done car.

Wilkommen und viel gluck!

I may be crazy, but it kind of pulls it off. Almost. It is missing something.

It was also a 'popular' bodykit a while ago here in the Netherlands. There are still a few driving with this kit.


Look for a TD04L from a WRX, small turbo very good spool and there are lots for sale for cheap

How do you get away with emissions / inspection in Germany? Aren't they very strict?
Car is looking great btw!

My dream is to take my car on a boat to Italy and do a eurotrip. Costs 3000$ both ways just for the boat though.

It would be cheaper to buy a NA or NB here in Germany and drive this one...

Update: shipping took 8 days, but it is finally here. My MSPNP PRO. Are there any ways to check if eversthing is fine without plugging it in into the car? (As i bought it used from an ebay.com seller)
I also ordered a "PIERBURG Ventil Ladedruckregelung 7.01024.02.0 " Electronic Boost Control Valve. I hope that it will work with my Megasquirt

Just popping into google search looks like it's similar to the EBC that comes on the internally gated BorgWarner EFR's
