Tuning turbo charged engines.

Have a look at what this guy from India can do for engines from varied manufacturers. Wondering if he could do anything for the ECU of my GTX though I gather from the article he tunes only turbo charged engines. Bye and wear your seat belts.

I had been thinking about it but a Miata after all is a small car and i honestly dont fel very safe driving in her. I would rather turbo a fixed head (coupe or a 4-door) ...dont know it handles gggrrreeat but still feels really fragile to turbo and even with the remapping, i would not go in for an absurd power increase, its fast enough to be scary already...but does she sound like a million bucks even now. Id be open to turboing the Palio (when i get it finally). it would be interesting to know where the turbo would fit in an already cramped engine bay.

Well, I've seen a couple of supercharged V8s in Miatas, and they REALLY have cramped engine bays. How about just a low boost turbo, for some added punch?

you can either remap your GTX ECU from DMTuning belgium{ web set} like i did or contact regal motorsports in the UK [ google them] just be sure you want to spend the money[ about 300E].
