i need some turbo advice
i got a 90 miata witha 1.8 swap with stock 1.6 ecu wiring. and i just recently got a pieced together turbo kit. i have most of it. i have the manifold, garrett t28, piping intercooler, tial wastegate. i know i need some fuel and engine management. im only gona run 6-8 pounds of boost daily driver so what do you guys suggest as size injectors,fuel rail fuel pump. and i was also considering mega squirt. and i also need a down pipe any info would be greatly appreciated thanks guys

You should totally get a megasquirt. It's cooler than a turbo.
I am just beginning to tune mine with rx8 injectors and stock fuel rail, regulator, and pump. At 8 psi (which is what I'm getting on wastegate spring only; no boost control yet) there is a decent amount of headroom in terms of injector duty cycle. Example datapoint: 150kPa, 11:1 AFR, 5500 RPM, 66% duty.
I paid like $50 for 6 rx8 injectors on ebay.

You say 6-8 pounds now... lol. You'll want more.
Injectors - anything ~440cc or bigger.
Fuel rail/pump - can remain stock if healthy.
MS - yes, you'll want an EMS.

Everything you need to know for what you want is already been written. Your setup isn't crazy or special.

Downpipe depends on your manifold.
Fuel: walbro pump 190lph High pressure pump, your rail is fine
Get a megasquirt, dont look back

start with 440cc inj if you arent using a RRFPR inline with your fuel system. If so, use 305cc supra injectors and tune accordingly.
goodluck, bye

We'd need to know what kind of manifold you have to give any input on downpipe. Pictures are a good start.

Have you thought about reading the stickies? Somebody on the forum builds them cheap and will provide a nice base tune map for your injectors. If you read some stickies you will figure it out.
