Newb from PNW
Hello, I am 32 year old from Washington. Starting to turbo my 1990 Miata. Originally the car was bought for a trip down the Pacific Coast Highway. Now I am power hungry.
So far Ive installed brakes, flying miata koni's, hard dog double diagnonal, 3.9 torsen, advanti storm with yokohama s.drives.
I ve ordered a MK turbo kit. While I wait for the final package of parts, I am in the process of installing a qmax reroute, deleting the ac, replacing all the front seals, and installing a csf radiator.
I plan to do the recommended megasquirt-tune, injectors-tune, and add boost. In the end I think I'll have it Dyno tuned. My goal is a canyon carver with 200 hp.
Thanks all

Many people recommend a stock flywheel with a turbo setup, so that's what I ran (FM1 with MK Turbo). Ran fine, and I have no point of comparison other than kind of wishing I'd done a lighter flywheel for rev-happiness. However, I haven't driven a light flywheel/turbo combo so I can't comment on any downsides there might be.

Welcome!
I say lightweight flywheel. Of every car I have installed one in, it was always the single mod that made the biggest noticeable difference and added to the fun factor. I run a SuperMiata clutch and an ACT flywheel (same as the SuperMiata flywheel)
Stay away from the eBay light weight flywheels. I tried one to experiment. I did a mag particle inspection and it was good, but when I threw it on a mill with a runout gauge it was 0.010 out (not flat enough)
