BEGi S3 vs FM2
#162
Protip: never, EVER, believe the FM bullshit dyno. I love those folks to death, but holy cow is that thing optimistic. Also probably from the high elevation, the "spool" illustrated on their dyno plots is beyond pathetic. They show a 2860rs spooling almost at 4500 and torque peak at 5, when just about everyone else in the country has theirs hitting the same figures a full 1k rpm sooner....though the slow spool can also be attributed to the shitty design of their log manifold as well.

Good because I get 93 octane around here as well and elevation is fairly low too, like 200 feet above across the whole city.
I got all squared away with ECU and injectors, back and forth between a Walbro255 or Deatchworks 300, either should suffice but might go Walbro and re-use my 190lph install kit. Will a Precision 600HP fmic fit MSM facia without major trimming of bumpers or supports? Another buddy is telling me to go with Mishimoto FMIC, anyone run these?

The only thing good about a flyin miata kit is that they will hold your hand and you are 100% guaranteed to have a turbo car.
Everything else is worse and more expensive than what you can do yourself.
edit: and Begi is the worst of everything. Bad support, bad parts, bad instructions, high prices.

Fun discussion to read, i lol'd.
Warranty on an all-aluminum intercooler is pointless, particularly from an eBay company. Like you'd ever get them to honor the warranty... The Audi intercooler probably gave out because it has plastic end caps which can get brittle. Dumb idea, those.
I'd say stick with CXracing intercooler or go with a high-end one. I'm of the opinion that the eBay intercoolers are just fine, and that one sounds plenty big for your power levels. Watch IATs and see how it goes. You can always upgrade the intercooler later.
