AMAZING !!! BBR Mazda MX 5 Stage 1 Turbo Review
BBR Mazda MX-5 Stage 1 Turbo review
VERDICT: Upgrade to 248bhp gives 2-litre version of likeable little roadster a welcome – and well judged – shot in the arm.
Two-hundred and fifty horsepower isn’t a lot in the modern autosphere, but it feels like plenty when directed through the rear tyres of a car as simple and slender as a Mazda MX-5. Particularly as Northamptonshire seems to be auditioning for the first leg of the Volvo Ocean Race and farm vehicles have left a thin sheen of various brown substances on the county’s B-roads.
The MX-5 in question is Brackley- based BBR GTi’s first turbocharged take on the fourth-generation model, following naturally aspirated packages for the 1.5- and 2-litre cars. The conversion is based on the larger-engined MX-5 and centres around a twin-scroll hybrid turbo, a bespoke exhaust manifold and a stainless-steel downpipe. Gases are cooled by a front-mounted aluminium intercooler, while other modifications include stainless-steel oil and water lines, custom silicone turbo pipes, a K&N high-flow induction kit and StarChip EcuTek software.
