SP vs SE vs Supercharged NC

[93_Clubman]

If in Vic, then SP or SE, & given limited availability of SP, get an SE & mod as per Lokiel.

The best spend would be a neat engineered turbo or supercharged NB or NA.

Period.

True.

But unfortunately in Victoria getting that done is rather difficult.

The main reason I can see is the ECU.
Programmable ECU = Automatic failure of EPA test
Piggyback ECU = Automatic failure of EPA test
Flashed OEM ECU = Automatic failure of EPA test


I'm sure there's equally annoying little rules ragarding the mechanical bits too.

As far as I know, the only way to legally have a turbocharged MX5 in Victoria is:
Buy an SP
Buy an SE
Buy an NA6 and have AVO fit their legal kit to it.

So I guess that knocks FFS supercharging right out of consideration.

Remember though, I'm only talking about Victoria.

Other states are different, from my understanding QLD and NSW are substantially easier to get a forced induction MX5 engineered.
