I've seen some non-public charts from way back when BW was doing their initial testing, and Soviet's results are not an anomaly - these turbos produce huge low-end torque on our motors.
Soviet's numbers are on a '99 head, too - with a VVT head and a good tune, I think 220wtq at 3000rpm is totally obtainable. That is wacky low-end.

I'm still lurking, waiting to give you my money.
It seems tho FM is highly known for customer service.
How will your's compare? (Maybe some non-TSE opinions as well, but please don't turn into a bash fest)
Also, with the AEM PnP for you turbo kits, Will you be providing a base map for the given setup?
Third question >.>
Does the AEM EMS Have built in 2-step launch control?
Yes because I want to be THAT guy.
Thanks for your time
If anything.. you guys can start R&D on LS1 swap kit

I am very tempted to try and bribe Braineack in to levelling a temporary ban on the next person that bumps this thread that isn't affiliated with Trackspeed Engineering because every time this thread gets bumped and it's not them with an update, I am disappointed.

Good thing there are some people that have a sense of humor and that I'm not crying.

But which 50%?!
Hint: I don't have any fabrication skills, don't like to work on cars but do like to drive them and have two excellent AEM tooners near to me that I have good relationships with.
Honestly, the main downside for me is the fact that I have great relationships with a couple of much higher volume shops and can get prices significantly discounted from Trackspeed's retail pricing on a couple of the individual components. 1%er problems?

With our kit, you also get the benefit of countless hours of R&D on not only the components in the kit, but also the methodology of the parts selection and the install process. We've been racing turbocharged Miatas for years, and our cars are some of the fastest forced induction Miatas in the world, and the kit you'll get will reflect that level of experience and maturity.

i've always admired fm's customer service, and we consider them to be the shop to beat in this market. I'm available via email and phone during the week to customers, and will usually answer emails on the weekends as well, and since i'm the one who designed the kit, i can usually get you set straight pretty quickly.

I like this guy. Every response to peoples questions is great and informative.

I rode in a club members turbo miata (13-15psi) and I'm sold for turbo miata build. I'll be waiting for word on your kit, even maybe my car as an R&D
just to get it early muahah.
our basemaps will get you up and running, but you should expect to have the car tuned professionally if you want to get the most out of the system.
the ems-4 boxes do have launch control capabilities, yes.
I like all the features of the AEM boxes. I dunno why more people aren't running them.
we're an v8r dealer so we can provide the necessary parts to make that swap happen
so it's pretty easy to get the mounts and everything. I was talking an actual turn key kit. It seems FM is the only in the market on that front, but they do the LS3.
