I would recommend 2.5" or bigger.

Everyone will tell you to run a 3" exhaust and a big *** Magnaflow muffler, but 2.5" seems to get the job done for an awful lot of people. The key is mandrel bends and smooth transitions.

Standard T25/T28 Turbine inlet:

Standard T25/T28 Turbine outlet:

I can't say I've ever seen a "circular one with 2 bolts" but if you are seeing T25s with a 4 bolt compressor inlet and a round hole, it may be a TD05 from a DSM. Check out Joe's thread: https://www.miataturbo.net/useful-sa...flanges-52542/ for more details

Three inch downpipe and exhaust with bigass Magnaflow muffler as stated above. Three inch will be more efficient and will give you headroom if you decide to upgrade later. It will work with a 2.5 but will work better with a 3.
