Because our mods have gone soft. Whole site has really. More BS and less tech every day.

I couldnt agree more. Is it that much harder to type "what" or "because"...

I like this NOOB. I recommend we hold further comments until he proves his worth. He could start by providing nudes of his girlfriend or perhaps HE COULD JUST FILL IN HIS PROFILE INFORMATION AND HIS SIGNATURE! We still don't know where he lives, so locals can't provide assistance... and we still don't even know what kind of Miata he owns... so nobody can really provide any good advice of any kind. I suppose if we knew such things, we could start really helping him on the road to boost... and help we have in spades.

LOL!!!!
That would take HYPERenergy!

I like this new guy. He doesn't seem like a punk.

Dude stay away from ebay kits. The mani's crack.

What year is your car? The 1.8L manifolds are different than the 1.6L's. If you have $2000 you can buy a complete Begi S kit.
Or buy a used name brand kit. A GT2554 or A GT2560 will work well.


Then later add a $139.00 ebay Intercooler.

Don't buy a brand new bipes, or msd. You can pick up used ones reasonable.

Good Luck!

it is common courtesy to use the "search" button on technical forums, especially this one ;p
there are stickies of what you should/shouldnt do, and plenty of info about various budget turbo kits that are making that power easily, with money to spare


these threads are common, the "need sum1 to find me cheap/best ****" thread gets old after 20000 times. Posting the same **** like this makes people think you didnt read anything before you posted, which is a no no.
