    Turbo P5?

    NOT to sounds like a dick or something but you dont seem to know anything about turbo'ed car. turbo timer allows idle time so the bearing and feel line wouldn't coke'd up. It will not protect your engine from denotation, ping, back fire, etc you can get a complete kit but i would...

    good or bad idea....

    you could but i wouldnt do it, unless i am on the track. it's gonna be hell of a ride for street car, get a downpipe bypass instead, that way you can switch back and fourth. I am guessing your friend's miata got a pretty restrictive exhaust to begin with, a proper sized turbo back would...

    225hp n/a p5

    Yes, it can be done but dont wish it could run on pump gas, full interior high, high higher compression, bore both manifold and port, regrind cams, maybe 200 hp you'll see if you think N/A is safer than turbo is the only reason why you wouldnt get a snail, well, you are wrong

    Coil Overs

    The name coil over gets a big rap. quality/real coilover like tein, Apex'i is a very good investment, they come with a shock specailly built for the spring. the fake coilover is more like an adjustable spring(sleeve over if you want a tech junkie answer).
