not any setup in particular, just doing research to piece together a kit. i like building my own stuff, i don't have enough stress in my life already. My buddy has a madrel pipe bender, and i got a mill and tig welder so i can make all the flanges and manifolds and junk, so i'm researching turbos and fuel management. i wanna do the megasquirt, but i don't know if i can have my car down long enough to mess with all the megasquirt settings.

The 57 trim is far more abundant that any other and is capable of big boost #s, great for full out drag, but a bit laggy for a street setup.
The 50 trim spools faster than the 57 trim and is still capable of 500 hp under a good tune and supporting parts. There is one guy on Miata.net that is producing 493 hp on pump gas with a ball bearing 50 trim hybrid.
If you are never going to want to produce over 300 hp, one of the smaller t25based turbos will get you there and spool even faster, making for a very spirited daily driver.
My two cents....
