Without even posting this you could have found out yourself, by actually researching. That everyone would recommend the TSE EFR kit. Or you would find facts about other yay or nay turbo kits. Along with all info on what you need to upgrade and what parts to focus on or which to ignore. There is literally everything you need to know via search box or google, if you wouldn't be a lazy *** and demand to be spoonfed by creating a thread no different than tons of others. If I can find everything I needed to know since 2011 without asking a single question, it's sad you are doing so right off the bat.

that for compression ratio for at least pump gas is ideally 8.6:1 83.5mm bore, from what Savington put.it as trying to running what I asked (83mm bore with 9.5:1 C.R. ) was not logically or even possible on pump gas simply cause no one supplies that sized forged piston and with pump gas it will be a nightmare to run that kind of set up. Using a twin scroll would hinder performance so a ss will be ideal in the set up. Take my time and enjoy the build and not to this in a whole week so I can enjoy it. Don’t expect cause someone else’s build to be the same result or to mimic cause the importance of it is being unique. 15x9 will be a better fit for tires and that I should’ve bought xidas. All in all this thread gave me some good knowledge so thank you to everyone who put their input

I build my 320 whp car purely based on research and information found on this forum. Yes, it's a tedious task, but in the end you will wind up understanding WHY you did what you did, where the weak spots are and what to avoid.
That doesn't mean you aren't up for mistakes (buying a competition clutch stage 4 instead of FM happy happy meal *cough*). But OTOH it also doesn't mean that one must act dumber than one already is, as we say in Austria.

It takes a lot of time to dig into people's threads and process what failures they encountered. But investing a bit of time reading about setups and the difficult roads taken to achieve reliability/consistency /closure helps jump start your own build on the right path. You get to skip forward to the juicy stuff, but know why it came to be.
We're all standing on the shoulder of giants. We've evolved from where we've been based on the trials and tribulations of others. That's why we hardly push certain products or vendors who haven't kept up with the times.
A quick hint, follow vendors who are active on the boards, who constantly develop for the miata platform and who race these cars competitively.
Start a build thread, it would be cool to have pictures.

Yeah well I learned that lesson the hard way (buying the powertrix coilovers). Savington is super active of the boards as well as everyone who has put their knowledge on this thread.

One of the things that I would submit for you, truly is how hard it is to learn everything you need to know about tuning using an aftermarket ECU. It is certainly easier than ever these days with more intuitive features etc but the fundamental problem is that you have full control of your motor and any change you make affects whether it starts, idles, misfires, or sweeps through the revs at your target AFRs. It's hard. The 6 step process outlined in this forum isnt a short one.
I bring this up because I certainly did my best to seek advice and chase my dream and detonated a brand new built BP4W. Not a cheap thing to do and certainly not worth repeating without respect for the process. My advice, before you buy your first piece of turbo gear, clutch, or exhaust part. Buy an MS3 basic or MS3Pro pnp. Ensure you have the firmware you want, install a wideband o2 sensor with solid grounding and drive it for a month or two.
