Any successful BEGI Shanghai installs?
I've read all of the Shanghai threads here, Miata.net and everywhere else but I've yet to see anyone running and driving correctly aside from BEGi's 10month tester (of which I simply saw mentioned on the BEGI site). I'd greatly appreciate if those running around with them happy would come out of the woodwork

You didn't search hard enough.

I may be new here but I'm not new to using forums
I've already read all of these + any china charger / chinese turbo related threads:
I'm about to order the Begi Shanghai-S kit. Speak now or forever hold your peace
BEGi Shanghai-S Installed but Overboosting
Anyone Using The BEGI Shanghai Turbo Systems
Just ordered a Shanghai-S for my NB. Ready to Boogie XD
Shanghai-S install, can't reach a nut in mani!
Shanghai Systems Now Availalbe!
So is anyone running the Shanghai-S yet?
Seems to me like there's one or two stuck in install or tuning, one with a chinese turbo blown after two weeks and a lot of talk and speculation. Then there's tyson87 who appears to have a modified setup (fuel), but I've searched his posts and can't find much about the kit. That's why I'm wondering if more have used them and not started threads about them.

Modified fuel setup? Did you see his dyno #'s?

Shanghai kit - turbo = S1 kit
Therefore you can deduce that anyone running a regular begi kit can share their experiences with you. As far as the turbos are concerned there has been no failure that I've read about to date since introduction.

Yes, that is correct, however, the turbo is probably one of the most important parts of this type of kit.
No skin off my back, as I've already ordered one, but the links I posted were all I had to go on (and that was enough to order it). Just looking for others who have done it. I did get a few responses on Miata.net from some folks that seemed happy so far.

I'll be honest, I don't think I would buy the turbo from them. Find out how much less it would be without the turbo, then check prices on egay. I paid $300 shipped for my 2871
