I'm Sam and I'm a noob
the first step is recognizing that I have a problem; I don't know SQUAT.

Is this supposed to be funny? Have you ever joined a forum before and started out with a thread like this? How did it go that time?
Stop giving guys named Sam a bad name. Ask a moderator to delete this thread and start a new one that doesn't suck. |
and change your name.

Give 'em something to work with and they might warm up to you. |
well, all right then. I'll take it seriously. And seriously, I don't know squat about turbos; I want to learn. the 10AE is my 5th Miata, and I want a touch more power (yeah, yeah; that's what they all say, I know.....) So, what better place than here? I've been lurking for quite a while, seemed like a good time to speak up, ask a question or six.

Also, start reading things in the useful saved posts section before asking lame questions. :bigtu: |
See, they are all teddy bears.:)
Welcome to the forum. You will have fun here if you don't take the ribbing to heart. Good luck. |

Welcome aboard. Please state your goals. You should read braineack's FAQs (they helped me understand many things when I started). FWIW; I'm proof positive that any dumbass can do it. I've got a built and boosted engine that's working like a charm. I have to say I couldn't have gotten this far without the knowledge in this board. |
maybe I'll change my name to clueless.
I've read lots of the FAQs, there's good stuff here as well as entertainment. goals; maybe 20% boost in midrange & top end, while staying pretty fuss-free. Essentially replicate the MSM. Not radical, just, well, the power it SHOULD have out of the box. |

It's gonna be more like 50% more power at around 7-8psi... trust me, that's what it should have come with. |
well, thanks! I do trust you, actually.
I also should add that I want to learn more in general about turbos and manufacturing power, just out of intellectual curiosity. |
