Do not see how you could get 290 out of a 1.6 withought pushing over 20 PSI. Stock internals!!YAHH. Compresion is first of all way to low to make that high number much less stand the stress of the boost you need. I got a 1.5 with a VJ23 off a 89 323 with cams and new pistons and rings. Stock rockers and such. I run at 12 PSI which is still high and make 163 horse. Look at your #s. I brand new 1.6 miata with a turbo makes 178. 290. LOL

your info is laughable....for starters. the new turbo miata is a 1.8L, not 1.6L.
secondly, the 1.6L in the protege is the same as the super-turbo-loving 1.6L miata engine. Juan's posted dyno's of his turbo kit making 290whp on pump gas.....be carefull who you call out. This man also has a 12.5s full interior P5 that waxes EVO's all day long.
