I've been researching and searching for the last two days, and can't find what I'm looking for here (or on Miata.net). I'm assuming the information is there, but the search engine can't handle it or something.

Anyway, I'm looking for different options for an external wastegate 1.6L manifold. I am on a budget, so as wonderful as AbsurdFlow and ARTech and so on sound, they are not in my pricerange. I've seen a few decent deals here on used BEGi cast manifolds, but have not found someone locally who could modify it for an EWG, and am not at all capable of doing it myself. I'm also looking at a few local manifolds, but would need the same modification performed potentially.

Are there options I'm missing? Anyone willing to fab up something on the cheap? I'm looking to spend ~$250 or less overall on the manifold. Similarly, I'd need a downpipe to go with that and currently have a 5-bolt T-bird T3. Yes, that turbo is internally gated, but mine is kind of futzed up/missing pieces and I'd be welding it closed. I am "KISS"ing it in a big way, not making anything blingtastic.

I am also open to "Search!" suggestions if anyone can give me more direction for search terms

Here's a good option. I know the seller personally and he is a really great guy.
