holy moly damien what the heck do your parents feed you?!?!?
I'm so envious, only 13 and 5'11"...I'm only 5'4" and looks like I'm staying that way as well....milk every morning does not help much!
EDIT: Oh and I dropped off the 951 at the shop today and there sitting were 2 race prepped miatas in the garage and 1 993..where were the Porsches
...but those miatas, not too shabby

<strong>Luke(I mean Michael), if you don't mind me asking, how much was it for the kit...</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Helvetica">You can run the basic kit by its self at about 5psi but I didn't want to do that....I got a few extras.
- Greddy Turbo Kit (TD04 Mitsubishi turbo) $1199
- Mitsubishi Starion Intercooler $180 (E-Bay)
- Autometer boost gauge $64
- Autometer EGT gauge $144
- A Pillar mount for gauges $30
- BEGI Adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator $240 (much better then the non adjustable one that comes with the kit)
- BIPES Aux Control Unit $200 (with the base kit you have to run 6* BTDC of timing which sux big ones, this allows you to run around 14* base timing and it will pull timing at boost and temp increases)
- NGK colder plugs $12.50 (2 ranges colder then stock)
- Valve Cover Breather $8.95
- Bosche Posilok 4 wire O2 sensor $65
- FM Turbo PCV valve $16
- FM Stainless oil return lines $$$(can't remember but not cheap.) (with the stock kit the oil return from the turbo runs around the front of the engine to the other side where the oil drain plug is. You replace you drain plug with a banjo bolt type deal and that is how the oil returns. This isn't the best configuration aboviously but this isn't a top dollar kit either. The SS lines from Flyin' Miata goes straight down from the turbo to the pan which has to be drilled and tapped.)
So to answer your question... $1199 for the kit and about $1200 for other goodies.
