Isn't the MK aluminized and the Artech SS. I have the top axial with the 2554R and 3" Artech and love it. I don't know how much power I'm putting down but it is instant and fun. Definitely do the BIG magma flow it is quiet and doesn't bring attention to you when you spool it up.
Are you in a rush? MKTurbo
Can you wait months? Artech
Last I heard Abe was taking a break until next year.
I don't work exactly fast. Abe and I probably would get it done at the same time. General turn around time I want to quote is 6-8 weeks, if I don't have any orders. Of course I always have a long list of orders, so that is never actually accurate
Abe's quality is a good bit higher then mine, but you pay for that. He also does not use the big *** muffler unless you specifically request it and that adds to the cost. I believe he will use either aluminized steel or stainless depending on what you want. I only use aluminized due to trying to keep costs down.
I don't offer any sort of EWG nor will I even consider it. The upgrade path on my setups also is not as large as for Abe's. I work around a specific exhaust housing on a turbo. This limits you to the turbo that come standard and maybe 2-4 others that fit into that housing. My exhausts also don't match up to any standard points for other setups. So someone would have to do fab work to connect a new down pipe to my exhaust.
If your long term goals really are 300+whp then go with Abe. Or if you plan to track the car, as I offer no warranty once you go on track. I built my setup to be a reasonably priced to max out a stock motor. Upgradability and changing it were not in the design plans as that is not a market I want to target. I have zero issue with Abe or TSE taking all those orders and regularly tell people to go that route if they think they want more long term.
Not to toot my own horn or anything, but if you did a Trackspeed hotside with an EFR6258, you would have the same driveability as the 2554R without needing to upgrade anything when you shoot for 300-350whp later on. Buying stuff twice is rarely cheaper than buying it once.

This is not quite true, he will need to upgrade his underwear after riding around in a 350whp miata. As he will have **** his underwear during the drive.
But yes. The TSE setup is another good choice. I have one in my garage that will one day make its way onto one of my cars.

Yes, new underwear and life insurance are recommended upgrades. At least the turbo parts won't have to be changed
I mean even with my setup you will be in the $3000-4000 range to get the car done and running correctly. That includes the clutch, injectors, IC setup, MS, and wideband.
But that extra $1500-2500 will need to be purchased no matter what hot side parts you go with.
You can buy my setup and be under your $2k budget goal and have a solid setup to make 250+whp.
I am itching for a TSE EFR kit, and can part with my setup.
GT2560R Turbo w/ $100 adjustable wastegate actuator and a $375 billet 2860 compressor wheel (should be capable of making 300+hp).
AVO cast manifold, said to spool better than FM/BEGi with FM $109 inconel studs and locking hardware.
2.5" downpipe
full FM 2.5" stainless exhaust.
oil/coolant lines etc...
sell your 2554, and you will be way under your 2k budget with a solid setup.

That extra clutch, MS and electronics I already have going for me. Was mostly comparing hot part costs.
I do need an intercooler if there are suggestions.
