Hi guys, I have recently purchased my first mx5, it’s a mk1 1996 na. I’m keen on having a supercharger fitted, but at the moment my car is as original as it was back in 1996.
I was wondering what you guys would advise to upgrading before fitting a supercharger. Thanks
Only the exhaust engine wise
Brakes, alignment etc in 100% condition
What exhaust wound you recommend? If I were to upgrade the breaks what are the best ones to go for?
1.8 brakes should be fine for what you need. There is a limit to how much power is possible by supercharging.
Exhaust is down to taste. With a supercharger, the stock exhaust is fine.
That’s great thank you
Would something like this work?

I would fit a 4-2-1 manifold and a trackdog manifold blanket.
The manifold gets the extra gasses away quicker and the blanket cuts dow heat transfer to the s/c. I did this when I supercharged my NB.
Stock brakes will be fine as long as the fluid is fresh and the pads are good quality
Lovely thank you I appreciate the help
