Flyin' Miata is well known in MX-5 circles, indeed in fast car circles, for its work on Mazda's famed roadster. You can't drop

and not expect people to notice!
Now the Colorado-based tuners are working on something new (and very exciting) for the MX-5: a twincharged car. Yep, like a Lancia Delta Integrale S4 - and the Mk5 Golf GT... but let's focus on the Lancia. So that means a supercharger and a turbocharger, promising all manner of mad forced induction gains. Remember a BBR turbo is already taking an MX-5 to comfortably over 200hp, with a commensurate increase in torque; Road & Track is saying that the turbo alone could be capable of 350hp, so with a supercharger added on...
Flyin' Miata is currently developing the twincharged set up, using its existing turbocharged car as a base. Images of the build have been posted

, Keith Tanner from Flyin' Miata adding, "You know it had to happen." Good man, Keith. Amazingly, despite understandably being a busy engine bay, everything for the twincharged build does fit seemingly without modification.
It hasn't yet been confirmed whether Flyin' Miata will offer the package as one twincharged unit with all the associated ancillaries. However, for intrepid tuners the turbo and the supercharger are both available from its website now. Would make a good Readers' Cars thread...
Given this is apparently the world's first twincharged Mk4 MX-5, you would hope that the guys at Flyin' Miata pursue the build and offer a complete package. Then it could be driven. And there would be more coverage, hopefully from PH... 400hp should suit, right lads?
