Hi everybody,
I figure this would be the best place to learn everything I can about turboing my beloved Miata. I mean it has the works 'turbo' and 'miata' in the URL so I've got to be in the right spot. Looking to make 200HP and still be a daily driver. I don't have much dough so it's going to be a toughie. Thanks in advance for all the help and insight!

HOLY ****.

READ, SEARCH, POST. In that order.

Rick really needs to put a rule on the forum, no thread making privileges without visiting like 3 FAQ's or no thread making for 5 days after registering, that gives people enough time to browse and read.

Jeez Sam. This is the Meet and Great forum afterall. Hell of a greating you just gave him, don't you think? He didn't ask any n00b questions. He just said hello.

No need to be a Flaming Thundercunt.

Welcome Kevin.

I've been meaning to suggest to the mods that you guys make the location of any member mandatory at registration time. I totally agree with your position on the matter. How about it loki?

Thanks,

Rafa

A word of encouragement, I have a Montego Blue 96 myself with 63,000 miles on it and with the turbo kit installed and running and I can't believe it! If I (non DIYer and "mechanically challenged" individual to the core) can go around on a turbo Miata without blowing the motor anyone can! :gay:

You're in for a treat; these guys know their ****!

You can hate me all you want, but in the end we are the same.
