Welcome to the site Brandon. Perhaps you will get a chance at a feature someday.

Lots and lots of turbo knowledge on here and MT, so read up and I am sure you can find a few ways to get a bit more juice out of your setup.

welcome to the site, i didnt see much about ecu, and if your talking about the msd timing retard box, dont even bother putting it on did not notice it when it was installed on mine. just save yourself a headache and go full standalone ecu

I like everything about your car except the MSD box...throw it in the trash where it belongs. Get a MSPNP and don't look back.

Msd box is fine... this isnt my first turbo miata build... if yall didnt notice this build is on the cheap, im not gona put a $1000 ecu on a car i paid $2000 for. I may in the future get an ecu as the build progresses. I got a second motor im building and when its ready ill prolly find a cleaner shell and really build a nice car, but thats a lil way off in the future. This is a dirty beater(short nose crank btw lol!). Its gona have a dirt tune and im gona blow it up eventually and it will then be my extra parts car. However for now msd box is going in. I just want something so i dont have to retard the timing like 10* to run 15psi and lose all off boost power.(Sorry but negativity like that is precisely why i havent been on any forums for years)

Anyhow thanks for the support... Pix will come once the new turbo is in and i get my steelie all season wheel/tires off. Should be within a week or so... Ill keep you posted :)

oh forgot in original post also has a walboro 255lph pump.
