So I recently bought a 1991 miata with 100k, I want to turbo it with the flying miata kit but i have some concerns.
1. Does the FM kit come with everything needed to install the kit, or will i be making frequent trips to the hardware store?
2. When tapping the oil pan what are some tricks to keep the metal shards out of the oil pan?
3. Does it come with water lines and all the inter cooler piping i'd need?
4. How much will my mpg's tank, ball park number?
5. Does the turbo come with printed instructions or will i have to print that out myself?
6. Does the kit come with the tap for the "air intake temp sensor"?
7.I'd like to use the mega squirt Plug-N-Play 2 how hard would that be tune?

My goals with the build is 225hp but I'd be happy with a flat 200hp. I also want to keep AC and Power Steering and all of the install would be done at home in my garage.
If there is anything ya'll think I should know or have any good links for install vids or pics I'd love to see them. Thank you guys!

Start by reading the destructions a couple of times.

im sure FM can answer all your questions....

225hp will be a lot of work.
224 isnt that hard, but there's a huge spike in difficulty to get that last one.




Seriously though, ask the people who make the kit.
you'll have it in writing, confirmed by the people selling it, so that if there's anything missing you can call them and get them to fix it.

I actually got a MPG increase when i had just the basic kit.

The joys of tuning yourself and the efficiency of positive manifold pressure.

My turbo car got significantly better fuel economy when running hard this weekend in the mountains compared to several naturally aspirated cars running with us. And I was boosting a fair amount. But I took the time to tune my car.

I don't remember the rest of your questions and I am under strict advisement not to ever scroll up.

My MPGs dropped ~30% after adding a turbo because hearing it spool is like a drug to me.

Yah I think your car did a bit better than mine in the mpg area. But mine didn’t do to terrible. I found that ac is a killer on my car.
