well, you can definitely feel it when it comes into boost, i wouldnt say it will be huge, but i wouldnt think a SC one would be either. If you have a small turbo like the gt25 in the begi-s kit then it will spool pretty quickly and you will have boost for a wide range of rpms. I would say a smaller turbo would be more fun to drive even though the max hp will be lower.

I was just curious cause my dads, while I know and understand that it isn't tuned completely right, just seems to be like no boost then out of the blue the boost is here. Wether or not the problem is because of the incorrect tuning, I have no idea. I just don't like the power curve it has right now.

yes, i do think that you will get a smooth power curve from the begi-s kit that will be very enjoyable. However, its not because its a turbo its because its a small turbo. That t25 will be giving you max boost at a low rpm so you will feel the power throughout the powerband.

A stock 1.6L Miata should be able to handle 14° of timing advance on regular gas in warm weather at sea level without pinging. If you're able to do this, it is likely that the engine builder didn't go crazy on the compression ratio. See the following for more information:
