How is he addressing boost lag issues, or did he even discuss that?

A problem with a large turbocharger on a relatively small engine (like the Miata) is that it'll pull like a sonofa***** once it gets spooled, but it takes a looooooooooooong time to get there.

Kind of like running a k28/10 on a 951. You'll make crazy power at the high end, but nothing down low. On such a setup where you're relying on high revs to make power other issues come into play like valve float, head flow, port matching, header length, etc.

Just wondering. . . Looks like a cool setup though.
