Hi there. Yep, I have. I put the Flyin Miata FM II turbo kit on mine. Good for up to 250BHP on a 1.8 :D although I haven't tuned it up that far. Certainly not cheap, but I think there are lot more turbo kit options nowadays. I'd strongly recommend having a good old read on the mx5nutz forum (http://www.mx5nutz.com) as there's LOADS of info on there, and lots of very experienced and knowledgeable owners on it.
