Hello Turbo people. My name is Dan, with one n.
I am currently supercharged, and am beginning my turbo conversion. I plan to begin by Megasquirting my setup as is. Once I get it tuned, I plan to add some larger injectors and WI. Hopefully by then, a the Trackspeed kit is available. If not, probably an Absurdflow mani and EFR turbo.
I am 29 years old and married to an amazing woman who supports my car habits. I served 6 years in the Navy, as a structural mechanic. I've been out for 4 years and am a sales manager. Love chatting cars, and look forward to learning a ton from you guys.

It was late last night to dig up pictures, so here are a few (I know it looks the same as everyone else's car / no originality).
I didn't get flamed on my original post, so hopefully this might stir up 18psi or hustler to say something hateful. Then I know that I have arrived, and am ready to post in a real thread...

Thanks everyone for your kindness. It is a very fun car.
I originally wanted a Miata as a track / AutoX car. When I bought it, I was driving an E46 M3 as my DD, but soon fell victim to the Miata. There was no going back.

Thanks for the warm welcomes! I've actually just been creeping on you guys for the past 3 years -- quietly learning.
As I've decided to go the turbo route, I am lurking around (getting my post count up to acceptable levels) waiting on someone to sell some stuff I need in classifieds.
...then I am going to sell my supercharger (to a noob) in your classifieds for the irony.

I am ready to start tinkering with a MS. Just so many options. Hard to pull the trigger. Car runs great now. Since I don't know any tuners local, I just want to make sure I am confidant tuning it to a good safe / DD tune. Lots of reading...

Larger injectors are usually installed in conjunction with the MS. Although we suggest installing and tuning the MS before going to forced induction, I don't think we'd ever suggest keeping your bandaid 5th injector and/or auxiliary fuel pressure regulator after going MS. Just install the larger injectors at the same time.
