The company offers turbo systems for both the NA and NB Miata. AVO Turbo SolutionĪVO is no stranger to turbo kits for the Miata. The kit includes every piece of hardware necessary for installation, including pre-shaped hoses and piping, hose clamps, fittings and more. However, AVO has found no decrease in reliability from the engine when torque and power increases are on the order of an additional 50-to-60 percent. As for the power handling capabilities of the engine, the jury is still out. On the dyno, the engine delivers 136 horsepower to the wheels on 91-octane. In fact, the ECU is so complex and powerful that not all of its maps and features have been discovered. Both intake and exhaust valve timing are computer controlled while the ECU uses every trick in the book to provide peak efficiencies under just about any imaginable condition. The MX5’s powerplant features a high 13.0:1 compression ratio and direct-injection to deliver exceptional efficiency from the 2.0-liter.

Designed to provide an OEM fit, feel and finish, AVO touts the system as the ultimate solution for the MX-5 owner looking for maximum performance without sacrificing reliability.

For those with a real appetite for performance, AVO now offers a complete turbo system solution for the ND MX-5. Unfortunately, the basic bolt-on intake, exhaust and header provide only a snack for those hungry for more power. While the ND Miata has an emerging new fanbase, no one can argue that more power would make the car more fun. Those who love driving Miatas and those that make fun of people that enjoy driving Miatas. There are only two types of people on this earth.
