I have no idea but if I was in your position I would be buying a Boost gauge asap regardless, unless you are looking at reverting it back to NA

I've got the avo stage 1 kit on mine and you can expect roughly 110rwkw depending on exhaust mods, engine state, etc. On stage 1 you should be running about 6 psi.

Is it Leif's or Ricks old car?

You can use the Link had controller to see the level of boost being made by the turbo. Hold down the adjust down button (down arrow). This shows pressure being read by the ECU's MAP sensor, in real time. The display is shown in kPa. The maximum boost for a standard engine is 180kPa or just over 11 pounds. You generally achieve maximum boost in 4 or 5th gear, using wide open throttle. Obviously it would be best if this was done with a passenger holding the adjust button down so you can keep your eyes on the road.

Hope this helps.

I can remember who did the work on that car but it hasn't seen much motorsport as Leif is far too busy at work.

I don't think Leif had modded the AFM spring but a tuner may have given it a go.

Top Racing has a lot of experience with Turbo MX-5s these days might be worth putting it on their dyno.
