GT2871 AR .86 for 1.6. Keep or return?
I got a good deal on a China GT2871 with a .64 AR hot side for my 1.6. Unfortunately when I got the new turbo, it had a .86 AR hot side instead of the .64 AR it was listed as. The turbo is on the big side for my 1.6. Do you guys think I should try to return the .86 AR for a .64 AR or try it out. My current setup is a T28, megasquirt, and injectors. Runs good. Looking to upsize my turbo but not have massive turbo lag. Not my daily driver.
Thanks,
Del

Not that serious, just don't like opening the "new threads" to see you offering your stuff to everyone and their mother.
As for the last part: it might be a teensy bit quicker to spool than his current one, but likely won't make any difference at all since that's not his main problem. Like Lars said

Sorry about that lol I changed my setup up and realized I'm sitting on quite a few extra parts. And wandered out of the WTB section when exploring the forum.
And I agree with you guys on going with the smaller turbo I thought I wanted bigger power then the GT2554 gave me but 2 months into the 2871 and Im learning power definately is nice but spool was more important to me. Just didn't know what OPs goal with the car was

Thanks guys and thanks for not roasting me on my first post. GT2560 it will be. It's actually going in a project car that is hopefully several hundred pounds lighter than a stock Miata. should be fun. Almost done. I'm picking up the chassis and body panels from the powdercoater tomorrow. Here are a few pictures of what was one of my Miatas. These are pre Powdercoat, bare metal.

The 2560R is a far better choice.

No, It's not a ball bearing unit. It's a little confusing because my existing turbo has a .42 AR compressor / cold side housing and a .86 AR Hot side Turbine housing. I figure the .86 Hot side is not great for spooling so I would like to go smaller. Here is a picture of the tag from the china turbo that's on the car now.
