God I need a ride in a turbo and supercharged miata. Not sure what path to aspire to.

^ Then come to the next tech day and i'll give you a ride.


Luckily, you can grab a T25 for under $250 to go with that manifold. Also, once you get the piping/intercooler, take a trip to O'Riley's and get a turbo of truck radiator hose. It's the same stuff as the high-end couplers, but the whole hose will cost you like $20 and you'll get like 10 couplers out of it.

Sounds like a deal.

I have some leftover 2.5" hose if you end up needing it. Tell you what, this stuff is so tough (in a good way) that I even have a tough time trimming it with damn tin snips...which are good at cutting ANYTHING.

Don't ride in my car when I come to atlanta then, it'll just confuse the hell out of you.

Nobody gives the ITB's props cause they don't pull as high of a number, but the awesome thing is the instant torque when you put your foot down. there's nothing like the response they give. not to mention they sound ridiculously awesome.

^ I agree. Although I still like turbos the best. :D

When are you coming to ATL?

what exactly is ITB?

In The Butt. :lol:

ITB or IRTB is Independent/Individual Runner Throttle Bodies.

(Or I Run This Bit**, there are plenty of acronyms to choose from.)

I love ITB's most. Just harder to work with.

I was building ITB's. Had cut a stock Miata intake manifold, mated GSXR600 tb's to it, MSPNP, I never put it on the car it needed a few things to be finished, but scrapped it when I decided to run ITA, so now am probably going turbo, since I am not running ITA.

Not bad, I may piece one together for a cheap outcome, but I have been looking at Begi, thanks for the links!

yeah man, those prices are pretty good, and they are fully upgradable to updated kit parts offered by BEGi!
