Is VVTI a pain to turbo and go standalone?
 
Hey,

I am used to OBD1 and non-vvti but came across a 2001 miata on craigslist that looks attractive. It'll be my first miata. My goal is to megasquirt and turbo. I'm going to learn to tune myself and all that jazz. My question is, should I stay away from the 2001+ miatas with VVTI for turbo and tuning? Thanks

They are the worst and make no power. Especially in the low-mid range where you'd use it most, 1.6 is your best bet.

Ok. 2001 Miata it is.

buy an mx-5, you may have to import one from overseas but i hear they are twice as reliable as a miata. the miata platform is faulty.

Edit: and disturbs cats.
