Buy the turbo one because it's got a 1.8 and those are rare in Denmark. Buy it because rust free cars are hard to find in Denmark. Enjoy the car and learn to upgrade it as time goes on and as finances permit
But a 323 manifold is well... set up for FWD. And bottom mount.
ZOMG A FWD MIATA!

This makes me wonder what the collective total spent on miata by members of this forum amounts to.
The amount of people who will know exactly what is going on in a stock Miata is huge, the amount of people knowing what is going on in that custom job MIGHT be one...might.
You want to go on a cheap date with a skanky hooker who has been all over the place and pay tons of money for treatment of some unknown super std till you finally get rid of it.
Or do you want to go out with a clean classy gal to a nice restaurant and enjoy a wonderful relationship for the foreseeable future?
Both of the ladies are going to drain your bank account, only one is going to be fun the whole time she's doing it.
Pay the money now

True ****.
Im not gonna find any car that is as well taken car of as this in Denmark, they almost ALWAYS have a little rust somewhere, or something underneath the paint, that isn't showing yet.
And i dont think there are many 1990's with the "good" dash - which have been engine swapped for the 1,8..
And i thinking, if anything i would have to change everything aftermarked on the car to make it reliable - but i would have to do that on a turbo build from stock anyways?
Buy a stock one, and turbo it myself - using a bunch of time and money, but knowing that everything is done right and is will be as reliable as can be?
Or
Buy this one, and using a lot of time and money to get it up to date, and knowing that everything is done right and will be sort of reliable.
SO is the real question if i can get a stock one without any rust, and with low miles cheaper than this turbo one? If not - does it make sense to pay more for a stock one, than this turbo one?
I guess i can use a few of the things from this turbo one, even if i were to do a lot of things over?
Does my question make sense? I would rather do it from the bottom up - but i dont wanna pay a lot more than this it would cost to make the turbo one up to date.
I have looked at a stock one for import in Holland, but im not sure what this "box" is - in the pictures? Haven't seen that before?
Hey Guys.
Thanks to whoever changed the topic name back from that condescending name to something more decent.
Other than that i have an update.
First om all. The car has a piggyback on the ECU which is why it can run the turbo setup.
Second, i doesn't seem like its possible to buy a stock car and turbo it, in Denmark anymore. The law has to many demands so its impossible to get it road legal with these kinds of setups anymore. So its either this or none.
You can fix it up, but you can't change to much ****, and improve HP or anything like that. So its sort of simple
The only thing you can is buy a stock and put a rotrex compressor kit in it, which should be rather ****..
The car is build like this because back in the days (around mid 90's) a standalone ECU was super expensive, and it was way to demanding to map it correctly to run in all kinds of conditions.
Buy the car.
1. Swap radiator with something decent
2. Buy MS3x and install, AFM MAF delete, add IAT, move MAP sig source to back of intake mani, remove secondary injectors and plug the holes, install GT500 injectors (flow force or other), and install wideband.
2b. Get a boost compatible PCV setup (look into the deezums catch can)
3. Wire wastegate open, learn to tune.
4. Re-enable the boootssststss with EBC (mac valve), and tune again, or take it to a professional.
5. Enjoy modernized turbo miata.
That should all run you a little over $1k USD, minus tuning
