Miata noob from Utah
 
Hey everyone, name's Ed. College student, needed an inexpensive, efficient caramel I refuse to drive something boring, so I picked up a 1997 Miata LE in black.96k miles, and in pretty decent shape. Right now I'm researching a turbo setup for my miata. Frankly, I have no idea when I will be able to pull it off--probably not for a while--but we will see how it goes.

I'm new to miatas, but not new to cars or forums, and especially not new to turbo :D however, this will be the first time I turbocharge a non-turbo car. I've owned Merkur xr4ti (put big turbo and custom IC setup), Saab 900 turbo, and my last car was a PT Cruiser turbo that would eat Mustang v8s.

I've got one of the Merkur turbo sitting in the garage, also have a little t3 garret from a turbododge and a little mitsu from a different turbododge... probably will rebuild the merkur turbo and run that due to the standard bolt pattern on the turbo.

ANYWAY... I apologize for typos, I will probably making most of my posts from cell phone and the autocorrect has a demon inside it :)

Love it here so far!
