The FFS Coldside kit is $3k. BEGI's kit is $2700.
I've thought about turbo, but I've been reading about issues with them on use with track cars that I dont want to deal with, as well as throttle response issues.

Response was never an issue with my turbo setup. It was the power curve. I didn't like just this huge massive gob of torque at like 3000rpm. I wanted something more linear. The rush is great, but doesn't suit my style of driving.

what issues? elrcih (analPROBEGT-ZEkjgnjejrsprnestyucxzmn) had a small turbo on it, and it spooled super fast, faster than any other car ive ever been in.

And it depends on the blower. All blowers currently out for the 1.6 are roots style blowers, which push the same amount of air through with every rotation. Those blowers basically mimic the stock powerband, just with alot more power and torque all the way across.
Kraftwerks/Rotrex and VF Engineering both have recently come out with Centrifugal style blowers for the 1.8 cars that are more like you describe. Centrifugal blowers are basically a belt driven turbocharger, and they make boost with RPM. They make peak boost at peak RPM, and it goes up linearly to there.
Yeah, I'd really like to feel a well sorted FMII or BEGI car to see how bad throttle response is compared to NA. Personally, I'd rather go turbo, but I'll be going with whatever is the best idea for a track car.

i dont post on any miata sites, but i am members, so thanks for the good response. ive heard nothing good about the greddy kit. i thought super chargers ran extremely hot? im sorry, im a noob to all of this, ive messed with nothing but turbo cars (aka, driven and watched them being worked on)

Cant wait for the adapter to be finished up i plan on picking up the throttle bodies next time i get paid .
Then in the winter they will be going on this .
