Well after a mixed weekend I have decided to make plans and stick to them with regards to the progression of my MX5.
Wasted a lot of money recently on buying parts and then selling them on again for a loss because of not being able to decide what to do with her.
So with that in mind I have decided, a very small turbo is going on to give me a little extra oomph (and that psst noise, yes I am actually 2 years old) and over the weekend I had the pleasure of being passenger in a BBR turbo off a member off here and I LOVED it. Okay he had a fairly large turbo making way more power then I want but to be honest the engine bay layout with the BBR manifold the way it is was the best I have seen ever. To me it was a better solution then both the FM and Begi offerings based purely on looks, and apparently it flows really well too.
Then on we go to actually finding one.. and it really does seem impossible. Even called BBR directly and sorry we can't get them for you, we would have to order so many over it wouldn't make sense.
So, does anyone know of another manifold that hangs the turbo right down there out of the way like the BBR? Is it going to involve me getting 1 fabricated costing stupid amounts of money?
