Yes, he would want the 1.0 housing. It would probably spool like a smaller .63 housing or maybe better. Of course, with a Garrett and a twin scroll housing you will also need to plumb TWO external wastegates.
Who makes the 3071 twinscroll housing? Btw if u have a 3071 in your hands you can have it upgraded by garrett to a gtx compressor wheel. Blouch has one too.
Oh and SPD you will see one on my miata very soon

I'm a fan of some of the Auber Instruments gauges. You can use them to monitor temperature, pressure, etc. from an electric sender. They are configurable and have alarms you can set.

A volt meter can be really useful in the miata. Since the alternator and water pump run on the same belt, if the belt falls off/snaps you will be able to tell by your voltage level. Saved my *** on the highway one day. I was just cruising and looked down and saw my voltage below 12. Pulled over and sure enough the belt was gone.

Yay. More **** to ******* stare at instead of driving.
I destroyed two motors because radiator burst and the other from water pump death. Did not notice needle pegged until the damn pistons melted and welded themselves to the cylinder walls. This was a diesel btw

+1 for idiot lights. i dunno about you guys but for track driven cars my tiny brain is too slow to watch gauges. this setup gives 6 idiot lights and 8 sensors. i just wish it was cheeper.
