Thanks Cris. Alot of people talk about there DV but truthfully I am more excited for the WG. I really like the idea of not having the rubber thing (cant remember what its called at the moment). With this WG you can also select different boost levels without changing out the spring.

Me.

But all I can do it look. Dumping >$9k into my Miata to get it on the road and boosted. But I'd LOVE to have the Hymee S/C.

The one and only reason I went SC to start with was I was very unhappy with the turbo kits on the market at the time. This new low mount kit was all I ever wanted in a kit.

Ill make a deal with you RIWWP for less then half of what you are spending on your miata I will sell you my Hymee set up and you can make payments!

Anyone else "watching" the exchange with interest should know that I would literally have to sit on the kit for at least 6 months, if not longer, doing nothing. Probably even figure out how to smuggle it into the house and then basement without my wife noticing, and have it covered up or disguised down there.

I am not one to undertake it lightly, and I have zero prep in my 8 (other than a fresh reman and an AP), but it's not like these kits are flooding the market.

Lol true story. The other parts were spare parts stripped off the long block before the engine build and part of a new center console. My bridge port engine should have been shipped Monday.
