I'v installed greddy kit with FMIC and 2,5" exhaust in my 92 mx-5.
but I'm having problem, miata hits full boost only from 5K rpm.

Check your wastegate. Make sure it's not stuck open.

The turbo will only spool with proper fuel, if you're not tuning with a wideband, you don't know if your fuel system is working properly. Also, do you even have a boost gauge? That green piece of vacuum line is where one is usually connected.

I liked the Greddy turbo. Insta-spool with 3" exhaust.
