It's been more than sufficient so far up to 13psi, with this turbo and injectors I plan to max out around 16-17psi. The biggest advantages are the ability to run higher than 10psi compared to the TMIC when heatsoak would be a problem, no more lag than the TMIC and it works with the FD UIM + compression tube. I think the gains are from a combination of better flowing manifolds, higher boost, lower AIT's. This is using the new hood and modified under tray too. Only thing I might due in the future, besides bigger turbo and injectors, is add some water or alcohol injection.
I can't find my old data logs with the TMIC at 10psi for comparison though. I am trying to locate them or find someone else with TMIC and BNR Stg 1 for similar values.

id love to take a trip to edmonton specifically for the west ed. mall.. havent been there ever.
Thanks for the compliments.
The ITB's are not 100% installed. I had some hang ups with the Adaptronics ECU. Needless to say, the 3rd ECU got the car started finally. As of now, I am in the process of installing the ITB's. New England winters suck and often times when it is freezing outside, I find something else to do than work in the garage. In addtion, I don't put either of the Miata's on the road when they are covered in salt, however this warm front that we have coming in this weekend and the fact that the salt seems to have subsided from lack of snow means that I might actually start tuning it (if I can finish the ITB install this weekend)
The manifold is a TWM unit.
As the car currently sits.
I don't have any vids of the FC. It's somewhat quiet with the RB duals until you are WOT and above 6k rpm.
For kicks, my turbo Miata.

Yeah, i hear you about salt. Will cut the life of a car's body by a lot.
That itb setup looks good. Does the engine still have stock compression?
My greddied na has a very similar setup.
What are you doing for timing? Bipes or just 6 degrees constantly?
Is that starion intercooled?
240whp with vortech fpr?
Your 1.6 is now my background on my computer.

Yes, for now 9.5:1, although given compression numbers of 215 psi across the board, I suspect it might be a little higher. I have seen multiple 99-00 Miata engines with this. If I cannot reach 160 whp, then I will go with a stock 01+ block 10:1 and mill the head to achieve ~11:1.

I have a Megasquirt PNP Standalone and I am running 15psi

Yes
240whp with vortech fpr?
Yes, the 12:1 disk has been swapped for a 3:1 disk. There was no point in buying a 180.00 AFPR when the 3:1 disk costs 18.00 and gives me the required fuel psi. The only things left from the original kit is the turbo, manifold, and fpr. Downpipe has been upgraded.
