Twin Turbo Monster Miata
 
Currently finishing my Monster Miata Build and will be trying to Twin Turbo it this year as well. Looking at either Doing t3 .50/.57 trim turbos or t3/t4 around the same AR. Will be posting Pictures soon. Will be running on MS II as they have a Mustang kit pre-made. I think I would rather run the MS III kit but it may be more difficult to set up and run.

Any recommendations please let me know. Thanks guys.

I think Braineak has done a few MSIII kits and I don't think he said they were any more difficult unless you count setting up additional features.

Six, do be sure to create a build thread. i am intrigued by the prospects.

there's nothing more difficuilt to ms3. in fact it's techincally easier in regards to ms2.

Have you considered doing a rear mount turbo setup? You would save considerable space. In my mind it would be easier to work on/maintain also. http://ststurbo.com/ Plenty of other resources out there.

I don't trust those... splash cold water on hot turbo seems like bad idea

Exactly... I don't see how this isn't mentioned anywhere on STSturbo's website!?

I can see how that could possibly be a issue. Although I would go more the route of this guy http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/nis...ak-part-1.html who placed it inside the rear of the car. The way I see it, the Miata's trunk would be perfect for this.

I dunno... I guess you could argue that the exhaust gets hot... But something about having two hot turbos sitting right near my gas tank doesn't sit well with me. ;)

That's a good point.

Ptp has a really bad rep among speed3 owners. They sold faulty high pressure direct injection fuel pumps. Changed their name instead of deal with customer issues. Lots of ppl blew disi motors because of them.
