- WATCH THIS Before You Turbo Your Mazda MX-5 - 1 Year Update
Hello guys, welcome back to Car Obsession and welcome once more to 'Monique', my turbocharged Mazda MX-5. Seeing as it's been almost a year since Monique was turbocharged by M-Tech, and the fact I was heading back there for a bit of a check up, I thought it seemed natural to talk about my experience.
In this video I'll be speaking about what you can look to expect if you turbocharge your Mazda MX-5 as well as any challenges you may come across along the way. As well as , I'll talk through any unexpected parts I've bought in more recent times that you may need as part of your conversion as well.
I had 'Monique' turbocharged by M-Tech Automotive - they are a friendly, patient and knowledgeable bunch, so if you want to enquire about boosting your MX-5, contact them here: www.mtechautomotive.co.uk/

Good evening everybody! Thank you for dropping in on my latest video, which once again features 'Monique', my turbocharged Mk1 Mazda MX-5. Seeing as it's been almost a year since M-Tech Automotive carried out the turbo conversion, it seemed sense to talk about my experience for the first year as well as offer my own advice for anyone looking to turbocharge their own MX-5. If you have any questions about anything I didn't cover in the video or something you would like me to elaborate more on, let me know in the comments section.
Tbh Aaron even for track use the Wilwoods are an unnecessary expense, especially given the power cars come out of Mtec running. Big brakes from a mk2.5 sport mated with hawk DTC pads are more than enough. I've run them at 250whp at numerous tracks with great results..You may be heavier on the middle pedal of course!
Hi there, thanks for watching. I did spend a long time pondering whether or not to go down the MK2.5 route, but I didn't want to commit my money that setup only to find it still wasn't sufficient and then have pay out AGAIN for the big brake kit, so I thought I'd just cut out the middle man and go straight for the BBK.
Glad your still enjoying Monique she might be high maintenance but worth every penny.😁
Yeah, she was absolutely mustard on track yesterday 👍🏽
Just stumbled across your channel, about to buy the same car, with turbo… this is the second video I’ve watched of yours, and I’m originally from Westbury!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Really insightful and entertaining video im the owner of a naturally aspirated nc which i adore. Im still a bit sceptical about turbocharging but ' monique' is such a stunning looking car that the idea of a highly turned na eunos /n.a is starting to appeal-----1.6 with bike throttle bodies---------😊.
Thank you John!
@@CarObsession your welcome best you tube content on mx5s I've seen 👍.
@@JohnButler-iq8rl Blimey, that's quite a compliment considering how much MX-5 content there is out there! Well, you'll be pleased to know there is plenty more content coming with Monique. There will be a trackday video coming soon. I'm filming a coolant reroute (spoiler alert, it's a crap, tedious job), I've also filmed a noise diagnosis video and there will be a tyre rack fitting as well. Oh, I might be getting an anti-roll bar kit, but not sure on that at the moment.
@@CarObsession your measured but insightful style of communication gives you the edge shall look forward to your new content 👍.
Honestly its worth it. My only issue with our mx5 was the lack of power. Its a great car. Well done
Thanks pal, appreciate it!
@@CarObsession now swap this with my 350z😉
@@fossilfish786 As tempting as that would be, it's a no ;)
6k, jeez for that spec the labour must have been more than half of that!
Having looked at the invoice I'd say the labour was a about a third.
Going to be 1.8 vvt swapping and m62 supercharging mine! Hopefully she doesnt fling too many belts 😅
Fingers crossed Jacob! Thanks for watching 👍🏽.
How do you like the il motorsports pedal covers?
I think they're great! Thanks for watching 👍🏽.
