Why the f*** did I install a M45?

I bought a functionally complete turbo kit with BEGI manifold, BEGI downpipe, 2.5" flyin' Miata midpipe and racing beat duals for $900 with engine hoist and an xede, tuning laptop, and two extra (questionable turbos) thown in for free. First choice, buy Brain's stuff. If you can't find that be patient and check craigslist and online forums for deals. Learn the difference between good stuff and crap and buy the good stuff for pennies when it hits.
Maybe I am just lucky but I bought several full turbo kits (to tailpipe) for less than a grand with injectors on craigslist and on this forum.

Anybody else notice this guy's story reads like every movie mad in the last 20 years?
They meet,
Car gets all gayed out ('cause he's hanging with the wrong crowd)
Reality sets in (and there was probably a big argument with lots of yelling he didn't mention)
**** gets real (BS comes off car, it looks dirty etc.)
Now we're at the montage part where zee turbo goes in...

Nice little project man. The only problem I forsee is that stock 1.8 clutch, it's going to limit you to like 5psi. I know on my oem clutch it started slipping with wastegate pressure on my stock greddy setup. El terrible

The friend who bought my 95 pushed the stock MSM clutch I installed to 200hp with a GT2554R BEGI kit before it started slipping. Might check with the mazda-speed forum guys and see if someone has a solid used one for uber-cheap.
Or save your sheckles and buy an FM1 clutch. I <3 mine. That used one will also work, if you don't mind an unsprung puck job
