Hey guys just baught a 97 mx5 and its turbod. It needs a ecu to start but i wanted to know can i run a oem ecu with the turbo kit it has. I dont expect to b able to run a rediculous amount of boost but enough for it to run and also to spool up the turbo.
 
I think if you are running any kind of forced induction you should run an aftermarket ecu of somekind. I have the megasquirt in my Miata and its great.
 
You can't easily use the stock ECU without a bunch of band-aids. However, there are full standalone programmable ECU's available. Check out the MSPNP at megasquirtpnp.com.
