Sadly my mx was written off back in 2010 but I wasn't going to let that be the end of her so here she is fully repaired with new suspension, wheels, paint and a nice clean engine bay.

Next for some forced induction

Cheers guys.

I'm not keen on the noise of super chargers I like the noise of a turbo. I know SC give better performance but I dont know maybe its just because I haven't heard a Mx5 with a SC.

I have the lower power/low compression UK 1.6 model can this engine be SC with stock internals?

Cheers,
Simon
