Most any automotive turbocharger will fit in the passenger side floorboard with little effort. Still, others use the trunk. It’s really not difficult to put a turbo in a 1996 Miata.

Life is a **** sandwich. The more bread you have, the less **** you eat.

You're going to need a lot of bread.

Well, no. The quantity of **** stays the same. You just get diabeetus from all that bread.


Anyways, i like the trunk method. That seems like ground-breaking stuff.

You could at least try to put your stupid question in the right section.

The trunk works very well. Mine was there for over a year.

As a serious bit of advice though. Go talk to flyinmiata. If you want to put a turbo in and know nothing about it, just give them a pile of money and they will send you everything you need.

OP -
Something many will have learned around here if they stick around for more than a day: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt. It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt"

Read first, read some more, and then more, ask questions later.

Have fun leaving the best turbo miata site on the interent, full of everything you could want to know, if you just took a moment to read and search rather than wanting the answers handed to you.

Let the door hit you on the way out.

OP, these guys do want to help and I've gotten quite a bit of invaluable help via PM's and my very few posts, but asking arbitrary and open-ended questions without any effort on your end to read the endless amount of good info on here is bad form. Be a good noob and take the time to digest what's on here and try again.

I saw the thread title this morning and said to myself, there's a ban coming. Sooner than expected, though.

I'm more triggered by the lack of punctuation, and trying to figure out where one thought ends and the other begins, than the content itself. Good riddance.

some of them are amusing enough to toy with before putting out of misery

some go from 1 to 11/10 full retard and must be disposed of due to fear of infecting the forum

mostly just protecting the collective brain cells here
