Moss have done MX-5 parts for quite some time, but it's mostly aftermarket bits.
A lot of people with turbo MX-5s (200-250bhp) seem to run 1800 sized brakes with uprated pads, which was what I was going to run until I changed my mind. I'm running early 1600s with uprated pads. It's good enough for the MX-5 racers, so it'll be good enough for my car
One other question - do you really need a turbo'd Busa? If you've little/no experience of these cars, then the 500-700bhp/tonne figure you'll get is not for the novice or faint of heart...
It might be worth considering a BMW or Freelander diff if you have a BEC and getting custom driveshafts to suit, the longest standard MX-5 diff you can get is 3.6:1.
