Just trying to formulate a plan for going FI. I'm aiming for approx 200hp out of my 1600. What turbo kit and extra bits would you guys recommend for reaching this sort of power with possibility of more in the future. I've been told the Greddy kit doesn't have much room for expansion and I've seen the Flyin' Miata kit is a bit pricey so that knocks those two off unless you guys know any different. Cheers in advance.

I think you could do worse than have a word with Lazza wink

If it was me. I'd be looking at the BEGI turbo kits.

I'm not the best guy to talk to about turbos. However, I will say 2 things:
1 buy cheap, buy twice
2 Cheap - Powerful - Reliable. Choose only 2.

Thats a bloody good philosophy that is. I'll take note and most likely be going for reliable and powerful in this instance, I don't see much point in skimping on something that's going to cost me a fair whack either way.

In which case you are probably looking at Begi or FM kits if you want a turbo wink (there are others, AVO for example but there are less of them around. I'd prefer to go for a kit with more support & local knowledge).

I started looking into a few options early this year, then sold mine and bought one with the work already done instead. Seemed like the easier, cheaper option as long as you do enough research to know what you're buying.
