hi everyone I've owned my 95 miata for a year already and just decided that i want to turbo it. i am new to this forum and need help! i want to get a safe build and gain a decent amount of hp. i haven't really been looking into full kits I've been thinking about just buying the parts as i go. if you guys could help with things i should buy first and parts to stay away from. and here's my miata. My ig is @e46nate if you guys want to follow me

Ebay is fine. Pair it with an FMU and BTM, ready to rock.

^ like he says, just cheap out and don’t let them tell you otherwise. Easy spending money for you...

Might want to hook up with @ridethecliche he’s mid state from you.

@ridethecliche is super helpful and would be more than happy to walk you through everything and give a hand wrenching.

Welcome! Lots and lots of good information here, to the point where it's hard to track it all down!
​​​​​​​What size tire wheel combo are you running there?

FMU = Fuel Management Unit. Invented by Corky Bell, the authority on turbocharging.
BTM = Boost Timing Master. Effectively brings back timing based on boost level to keep your motor safe under any condition.
