![Question](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hello I'm quite new to this forum so excuse me if I sound like a noobie. I recently pieced together a T25 turbo kit from various sources for my 1991 miata (with 145k on it). I am running it with no intercooler or ecu, but with a economical supplement - a FMU (vortech) and a MSD ignition box. I plan on achieving around 4-6psi now is that possible given those parameters?

Beware: the magical thing's magical powers may overwhelm you with great knowledge.
In case you didn't know, you're about to get seriously made fun of.

Slightly more verbose answer: I personally could not imagine tuning any forced-induction engine without a wideband O2 sensor, but then I do remember a time when men were men, sheep were scared, and wideband sensors were the exclusive playthings of OEMs and the very rich.

C'mon, you queers. It ain't that bad. The RRFPR and MSD "Sebring" box may not be cutting edge, but they were mainstream fuel and ignition management for a number of years.
Stop scaring the new guy.
