This. I am far from an expert and this is from my own personal experience and should be taken as such.
I had a turbo / ECU kit for my Miata for a couple years from a very popular Miata turbo kit supplier. While everything in the kit was good quality, it was constant work, almost every week, of finding/fixing issues and adjusting tunes. While I enjoy working on my cars, I don't want to have to work on them all the time.
I plan on staying FI-free on this car and finding some extra power in other ways. Sure, it won't be as much power as you can get with FI, but I believe (my opinion) it will be more reliable. And that is the most important thing in a daily driver to me.
