Default "thuper duper awethum pothum" FM/ABSURD/CUSTOM *uber spool* turbo setup

Hey all, I bought a turbo setup here almost two years ago now, and I've decided to go another direction with my car.

I bought the setup from Chilicharger, from this thread: https://www.miataturbo.net/miata-par...rbo-kit-84683/
He himself bought it from 18psi, from this thread: https://www.miataturbo.net/miata-par...o-setup-82263/

Kit includes everything listed and shown in those pics; I never got around to installing it (just fondled it).

I'm asking the same $2500 for it, including shipping (depending where you're located). Price is firm at the moment—don't need the cash to finance any other purchases, so not in a rush to sell.

Part of my plans for the kit included fuel injectors, so I'd bought a set of GT500 injectors from CJ Pony Parts, plus the requisite EV6 female-Denso male adapters, FlowForce 12mm tophats/extenders, and a set of Denso lower seals. I'd include all that for what I paid: $191.

Good luck with sale, good street setup for a normal sane person.

Would install instantly. No funds however. Would LOVE to put my 3" Artech exhaust back on without it being 300dB.

this would be the perfectest daily driver setup. all the torque, all the time, enough to have a hoot, but not enough to bend rods.

that manifold was custom made, for G, by none other than TurboTimmah of ABSURDFLOW. Need I say moar?

EO2k 7/10/13. It's the last manifold on my spreadsheet actually. Wow, I haven't made a manifold in almost 4 years. Wow, no one has used this manifold is almost 4 years either.

Someone use this manifold please!

Can you please post pictures of the parts you have? It would persuade me to waste more of my money.

Or have you already sold this?

Damn, I'm tempted to do something youthful, impulsive, and absurd, and try to figure out how to make this kit into a fast-spooling, low-boost, track-reliable setup. M-U-S-T. R-E-S-I-S-T. T-R-U-B-O.

[Looks for compressor map for that turbo.]

^ You arent allowed to. Im close to having enough monies. Plus this isnt a track setup. This is a decent street setup.

Can anyone confirm that the downpipe included in this kit fits the stock midpipe on a 2001?

Yes.
And this can absolutely be a track setup: strong mani, check. inconel, check. everything else set up to take abuse, check.


...wait, I see what you were doing there

Yes, I was going to have to buy an NA downpipe to make this work with my car.

Thanks for helping out with the sale, 18psi!
