Well, I finally ordered it today. Plus my GC Coils. Got a good deal on the Kit from Brice @ Alamo. So the days of 98whp will soon be over!

That'll be nice!
Got any suggestions for future upgrades? Step 2 is probably gonna be 1.8l injectors, a FMIC and a boost controller.Quote:

If I can find my old manual boost controller, I'd be happy to donate it to your cause. Will hunt around in my buddy's garage this weekend to see if it's still around.

Yeah, already need one, so looking for one to drop in before Turbo install. I already have a shaved 1.6 flywheel, so just need disc and PP. I am sure someone has a good suggestion on the type, right?Quote:

I also have priced out some 2.5in SS exhaust piping to build the exhaust. Already got a 2.5in race cat, plus a straight-thru muffler.Quote:

S-AFC (already have one from other car)
1.8 injectors (gotta love SM parts cars)
small IC (probably something to mount in place of the plastic OEM crossover tube. temporary, but should work for the 9-11psi I hope to run)
Bipes/MSD timing controller
Elec Boost Controller (or manual if someone is gonna donate it ;) )
Cam gears
Not sure where I am gonna go from there, but I am looking for 220-230whp, which will be plenty for daily/autoX/track.
do you have the intercooler already? i have a small one i could sell?
I have a used one that I'll sell you for $75 if you are interested.Quote:

oh yea, dont ever, ever ever ever ever bring your car to alamo auto sports
+1. Those guys wouldn't know a socket wrench from a hole in the wall. You'd be better off letting Juffy Lube install your turbo kit.Quote:

Give us a visit when you have time. Glad to help.

I really like the trackdog intercooler setup its awesome, but that pricetag is hard to choke down. :cry: is ther any kind of dfwmiata miata discount perhaps? ;)
If it helps any, I believe the TDR turbo rigs include the intake too.Quote:
