Paul...why not just pm me?
I'd stay away from that ebay kit... it'll have problems in less than 1000 miles (turbo crap out, manifold crack, intercooler pipes not specific to the car, shitty rubber couplers etc...) The M45 s/c isn't bad on the 1.6 or the 1.6, it just depends on what your overall goals are. If you want something good for ~50-75rwhp that will be easy to install and never need maintainence, then get a JRSC kit and add a FMIC and a good exhaust and a FMU. Want to tinker a bit more? Turbo kits can be made for anywhere from $1000 for piecing together some nice used parts to $5000+ for a top-name kit.
I'd stay away from miataturbo.net...... we are a bunch of wolves over there, unless you come in and make it known you are down to earth and know a few useful things about cars....and not act like a jackass.
The LINK ECU is "OK" still, and pretty inexpensive to pick up (considering it's a standalone). The MSPNP is OK too... but it requires constant tinkering. But for power under 200crank hp, a FMU and some 1.8L injectors would be just fine...or even something like Flyin' Miata's "voodoo box".
On a 1.6 you'll be luck to dyno 90rwhp in stock trim. With a few small mods - cone filter, header, exhaust, bumped timing, new plugs and wires , you'll be good for 105-115rwhp...on a good day. The motors are VERY strong if they have been well maintained and will make 300+rwhp with stock internals....it all depends on your tuning.
IMHO (after having turbo and s/c'ed Miatas), I think a nice JRSC kit would fit the car just fine and give it the extra power the car should have had from the factory. Although the kit doesn't come with a FMIC, i'd highly recommend it because it makes a TON of difference without adding any problems.
If you have any other questions...you know what to do.
