    I have the CF DF on my other car, and I LOVED it. Wasn't sure if it was the best option for the Miata though, so I had to ask for someone with previous experience.

    I am gonna try to do all the work, if possible. That or get Chris to help me at Bob's place. He works on SpecMiatas ALL DAY, so I am sure he can slap on a turbo kit if needed. As far as Alamo's work, I have spent about $16k-18k there on parts and labor, and NEVER had any issues. That's not including the Turbo Kit or GC Coilovers either, that's just on my other car.

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

    Thanks. I have looked over your online site 100s of times, and then at my wallet, back at your site, cried, and then cried some more. You guys have some AWESOME stuff, ESPECIALLY the FMIC setups! I am looking at those stiffeners for the near future, but found some solid aluminum motor mounts I will get when I have the money ($250/pr). I am interested in the Diff mnts as well. As for the clutch, as much as I HATE it, I am probably gonna end up getting some "Exedy Stg 3" on eBay for $149. The price is right, and that's what this is right now, a SMALL budget build.

    I'll chime in... I decided to keep the Miata and now I'm planning to pick up the Greddy turbo when I have the money in a couple of months. I'm tired of getting smoked at red lights. By New Beetles.

    So it's a good kit huh? Maybe I can slip AJ a couple of bucks to install it for me

    Just brought it home. Gonna do some ceramic coating on the manifold and maybe the housing before I install it (maybe).

    I found the company that makes the FM Link plugin computer. i can order it and have it shipped from Australia for 500 dollars less than Flyin miata sells it for. I really like Flyin miatas stuff but damn they are overpriced.

    I got a good source on a used Link w/ a FMIC (off a FMII Kit). Won't know till Jan though. If not, I got a buddy who will give me a good price on a Haltech for it. I am still procrastinating on the install, not sure when it will go in.

    Well, after much putting off and such, I finally took the time to have a buddy of mine install the kit for me. I did the Fuel Regulator, he did the rest. It is a pig below 3k, and then only hits full boost and pulls strong at 4k. I set the timing at 6BTDC, but might move it back to 8 or 10 when I can get a full tank of 93octane, instead of a 50/50 with 87 and 93.

    I was surprised at how low it was, but it still pulls hard.

    Not that I know anything about FI, but setting the timing at 6 degrees seems a bit low for only 5psi.
