Looks like us DIY guys are starting to make some power!
I made 294whp @ 16psi
MarkP made 296whp @ 17psi
Airbrush made 260whp @ 12psi
Thing is we all have a lot more headroom to make a lot more power. I know I personally am shooting for 350whp next spring when I get some more goodies for my car. I am so glad that this forum likes to make power, because over at the other forum....well....they are happy with 180whp JRSC's and 220whp FM turbos.

I should be on a dyno within a few weeks. should be just over 200rwhp. And don't forget Tom (Bgrracer) I know it's a Greddy kit, but I mean, what's not stock on it, the turbo and manifold, the rest was completely DIY.

Would an upgrade to moly gears in a transmission be enough to handle the 350 HP. I've only talked to one fellow that had done it and he did it because he speed shifted his car all the time and was killing the tranny monthly. Anyone ever read of upgrading to a non-synchro doggear/dogtooth setup with the miata tranny?

I should be in the 250whp range. Still need to dyno one of these days. I imagine it will get done after christmas. I still have a bit of leak from the wastegate flange that needs to be fixed. I've got the slightly smaller 50 trim T04E with the .48 exhaust with a 38mm gate. I have contemplated throwing a WI setup on there and seeing if I could get a few more out of it, without having to increase the pressure much further (12psi) .

Mine was my DD for over a year. It would be my commuter for my 70 mile drive to college weekly, but I always ride with my girlfriend. If you have enough control over your foot, it could drive like a factory miata.
