diy on a '99

I've been out of the miata scene for about 4 years, but I'm back
.
After having had only NA's with Begi System IV and a couple of FM2's, I now have a '99 engine (albeit not in a miata but in a Westfield).
This is a euro engine, so there is a fuel return line!
What is my best option keeping in mind that I want to keep the stock clutch and that I am on a very thight budget right now.
This probably means that I'll need stay below 8psi or so, but that's ok.
I have a Pierburg, old style Begi AFPR and MSD with Bipes mod somewhere from my very first system IV. I guess the MSD is a no-go on a '99, but what are my options?
So, what turbo, manifold, engine management, etc.
Torque is more important than hp, so something fast spooling would be nice.

Yeah you could sell off your FPR, bipes, and MSD and put the funds towards the MS. I could have gone the FPR and ignition retard route but after researching both options I decided to do the MS instead. More cost and complexity sure (not much more cost really), but much more powerful and flexible too.
I feel like I am towing the party line here which is totally against my nature.
But when I realized all the MS could do for the price my reaction was ![Biggthumpup](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/biggthumpup.gif)
Since I did not have the return fuel line like yours I was looking at more cost to go that route, plus I did not have the stuff already like you do. So not exactly an exact comparison here but still pertinent.
Talk to Chad he will hook you up with a MS. Or roll your own if you are so inclined.
