Turbo!

Since there is a handful of people interested in my turbo build, I thought I would just awaken this blog platform and put up some pictures.  If you're not interested, that's ok, no worries.

First, a disclaimer.  You may see shoddy workmanship, or the signs of a person that doesn't really know anything about installing a turbo system in his miata.  That's just how it goes - I'm learning as I go with this thing.

If you are interested but don't know much about what a turbo does or why it's such a great thing for a fun but slow car like a miata, this article is a pretty easy read.

Generally speaking I'm following the turbo system installation instructions found on Flyin' Miata's website, but since I'm using a mixture of parts from various sources it's just a guide.  I probably won't take time to explain how it all works and what each piece does, but I'm happy to answer any questions if you have them.

Figuring out how to make a bunch of parts work together to double the horsepower and torque of an engine can get complicated.  The hardware choices can get tricky enough, when you add changing out the vehicle ECU and programming it for a range of air/fuel mixtures throughout the RPM range, that's all together new territory.

Let's get to work!
