Haha. Love this turbo stuff. Catching up on it on my 1st new smartphone with tapatalk. No idea what I'm doing with that either. Bit of a learning curve.

Yes, I meant Volume. As a simple way to explain how the volumetric efficiency of a turbocharged engine is only truly understood when the entire system is looked at as a whole, rather than hyper focusing on one component (i.e. head flow rate or compressor map.)
All too often the emphasis is placed on getting air mass into a turbocharged engine, but little consideration is placed on the exit strategy.
The O.P. was discussing the difference in turbine housings and wheels (the volume of the turbine housing in particular ) when all this discussion of CFM vs. PSI broke out. Mike is on the right track with where he's going.

Yeah he was only running 18 psi total. You can't compare a bp to other motors though the bp heads don't flow that great.

At least one guy I know used the 35 on a Dodge Neon with the stock 2.0 and said it was a good match. I'm sure like mentioned above the BP would love it.

I think hx turbo would be an awesome oem option, because you know diesel shops could get them rebuilt reliably and cheaply.

From a quick search on miataturbo it looks like a hx35 will hit 18 psi at 3800rpms on a 1.8

Is that waste gated?

Brad, that link only brought me to the forum home page and an ad for Gatoraid whey protein products.

Oh so you can have meth heads and I can't have crack junkies!

Crack kills bro.

Different story here. But a bit more displacement.

Hopefully this is me in the near future.

The Festiva has a better system for the front trans mount than a mk1 vw, but your car is probably going to start cracking in other places. The twist that starts at the sway bar mounting areas gets pretty destructive around the strut towers and firewall. JT's car was a perfect example of this. I'd hate to see sonic turn into a crack junkie. You may want to strengthen that front lower support.

I put mine on a 1.8vw scirocco years ago, and learned a lot about bad decisions. It didn't come on until almost 4k and when it spooled it liked to break things. First it tore the front support right off the car, then it grenaded 2 transmissions. Those were the days. Lol

Hopefully this is me in the near future.
