02 mx5 turbo or supercharger?

Post by ROBERNATOR »

first time owner of 02 mx5 & want more power. i live in a state with no inspection or emission checks. i don't know what upgrades to do first. should i go with a turbo or supercharger? my brother runs 1 big turbo on his 95 rx7 & its a very BAD car.

Hmmm, depends on planned use. As a freeway fun toy I like the turbo. If autocross is in the plans I prefer the supercharger.

None of the intake choices are going to hook up neatly to any of the boost kits. Thus, any intake you get now you will be getting rid of when you get the boost.
