Default Hi, I'm new here... Is it safe to DIY Turbo???

LOL, Just Trolling... I couldn't resist!!!

It's been years since I have been around... and really, I am just more interested in what people have been able to achieve post NB Miata with regards to DIY Turbo kits.

So what are the post-NB Miata's typically capable of and what is the best bang for the buck in Miata DIY turbos in 2021?

Welcome back Markp. You have been gone a long, long, long time. I'm betting very few people will still remember you. But there are still a few of us kicking around.


Right now the turbo market is, going budget wise from with with MKTurbo setup from me, grabbing a CARB kit from FM, or getting a Bulgarian Kraken setup.

Power wise we have all sort of stopped shooting for the moon. Mostly because it gets stupid expensive. Bmw trans swap and CTS diff are the new hotness for big power. KSwap if you are feeling fancy and want to give up on our 80s truck motors.

The newer turbo tech from Borg Warner EFR, Garrett GTX line, and the Garrett G25 all are newer, more expensive turbos that can get you north of 400whp with decent spool and all.

Go check out SonoftheHill's thread in the dyno section about his 11 second NB1 with a $200 ebay t3 turbo and MKTurbo setup.
