Seriously, though, call me for the replacement motor when you pop this one.

i bought my 1990 miata for $500
and just bought a bunch of ebay turbo crap for another $500
just has to run so i can resell the next owner can choose what they would like to do..
yeah people love to buy cars with pistons that are blown apart into smitherenes. I know that given the typicall test drive i or anyone else does you would have a lump of metal by the end of the inspection. Part of getting the shit running is getting it to run, boost makes heat, heat makes detonation happen. Detonation kills your motor.

I wouldn't buy a miata if it was boosting less than 20psi. I recommend you turn it up at least to 20psi for the buyer test drive.

No no it won't be him that'll call you, it'll be the poor owner that he's hawking this thing off to.

My best guess is luck. Pretty sure luck is also whats keeping this motor from blowing up.:idea:
