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.

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.
