I run a .61 A/R on the miata turbo race cars, but they are all done at 7000 rpm. This car has an extra 1500 rpm so the rpm range on track will be 4500+ to 8500 rpm, at which point I hope the turbo will be at pretty much full song, but we shall see. I just did not want the extra exhaust restriction of the .61 on the Elise.

I run exactly the same setup on my street car and have full boost by about 3800 rpm, which I can live with. And that is with a cat after the turbo. The track car has a 3" exhaust that is about 24" long.

Only time will tell.
