What is the latest "best" intercooler I should be running? Are people getting good results with any of the Ebay setups?

and what is this "720hp miata" bullshit. You mean miata with a turbo V8? Or Miata measured on a poorly calibrated dyno? Info?

This is the one I'm using .https://www.ebay.com/itm/CXRacing-Un...sAAOSwwIZXTR7v Its gotten me into the 6's 1/8th mile in only 2 passes. There's more in it, With more practice and activating my spool shot slightly earlier for a little more aggressive leave I expect to pick up a couple tenths at same boost level. Thats pretty good I think for ebay turbo, manifold, intercooler, wastegate, cold piping etc..

Mr Turbskie certainly has a bad ride, it makes my junk look slow... However this one may be the quickest bp miata to date. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1715337&type=1

The miata_turbskie car has to be the quickest BP powered and manually shifted Miata in existence.

Newaza, I have personally seen that car. It resided just a few miles from my house, but it was sold a few years ago, and haven't seen it since.

You could very well be right. The one I was referring to supposedly ran in the 8s 1/4 mile, but I've never personally seen either. Here is a video walk through of his car. Its very well done.

Car currently has what I would assume are some Ebay quality coilovers all around. Went to the drag strip Friday night and the car was bouncing out the hole violently, I am also having issues with excessive toe out on the front wheels which made the car even more wayward, but should have the front end aligned this week . But what do the serious people run for a drag coil over or rear suspension, I am going to be installing v8 roadsters rear control arms to eliminate as much movement as possible. I feel like the springs are too soft and/or rebound is too high. If nothing else I will build a custom set of rear QA1 coilovers with dual adjustments and test out a few different spring combinations.

Video is on Instagram if anyone would care to inspect and leave their 0.02c

I replaced all my rear suspension bushings with Delrin and uniballs as well as Delrin for the diff bushings. For shocks I run kyb adjustable, Goodwin coilover adapters and 350inlb rear springs with 450inlb up front. Managed a 12.15@112 with 1.706 60' and 3.78s 0-60mph from my stock bottom end 1.6 and only 19psi. Tires are 24.5x10 M&H slicks.
