i've always thought that my car would have stock turbos which have not been high flowed but my friend raised an interesting point yesterday.. he thinks that i should try to put the boost upto 1.3, 1.4 or even 1.5 bar to see if the turbos have been high flowed or they r just stock ones... he says that if they r stock ones, the boost will just drop when been overboosted.. so no damage to the turbos or the engine... but i am wondering if i should do this or not coz i am worried about the negative damage it *might* cause...

what do u think guys??

If you do that the ceramic blades will fly off straight through your cut and both your turbo and cat will be ****ED!

Tell your friend to stop giving advice!

Also any "boost cut" that you hit will be caused by the ECU not turbo!

And that amount of boost might cause detonation which could **** your engine!

thanks for the advice guys... (i was gonna try it next monday at EC... :( thank God i posted this stupid idea here first..) i will stick with my "fast-but-got-used-to-and-need-more-neck-snapping-boost" 1.2bar .... :D

ps : my friend used to drive a 600+hp GTO so i thought he actually knew what he was talking about... it appears to be he has nfi just like me...~~ keke

      I'm late to the party on this one but good to see common sense has prevailed and the turbo kit is coming.

      I had a look at the FAB9 EFR kit, around $8500 AU before delivery, so add in shipping, installation, consumables and tuning, I believe the price difference would be negligible  And whilst I am paying top dollar at MX5 Mania, if I have any issues with the kit they are local for support,  and from my experience, will happily go out of their way to help, hell, I've purchased parts from them and asked "how do I install or remove parts" and they have fitted a few of them for free, this means more to me than saving a few thousand dollars And yes, 99% of the time I just plod around in the car, that may change once I start hearing turbo whooshy noises, but, as I have 3 family members is the constabulary, even when I'm up it, it is only up to the speed limit, or occasionally, but rarely, overtaking on the Hwy (I just plod in the left lane typically and enjoy the drive) Plus the kids would never let it go if I got booked speeding, Jackie is constantly getting critiqued by the kids about her driving, which I think is hilarious, and tell them that she is "bringing shame to our family", so heaven forbid if I ever got done speeding, after all my mouthing off about her driving, I would never live it down, and it would be another thing she would bring up any chance she got Like the time I got drunk about 15 years ago and fell out of a cab, which gets brought up at least a few times every year since it happened Good times

      True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap.
