Turbo NC (2006) reliability?
 

Thinking of getting a 2006 Miata but I want to turbo it eventually. But am concerned with it’s reliability. There is not a ton of info on Turbo NCs and I don’t want my engine to blow up in 10-20k.

How do the early NC 2.0l and manual transmission hold up with turbo?

I’m not looking for crazy numbers. I’d be very happy with 250hp.

How much life can I expect to get out of my engine?
