Tb03???

Tb03???
I stumbled across a garett tb03 for an insanely cheap price and freshly rebuilt by a reputible company. Now I don't currently own a Miata but plan to in the near future and FI is definately on the table. Is this turbo worth keeping for a future FI system or should I go trolling for a t25.
BTW I'm a welder and plan to build my own manifold so the flange being funky is a non-issue

If you are refering to the TB0335 (Chrysler T1/2 Lancer) that's what I'm planning to use (1.8). Although I'm thinking of changing turbine housings to allow me to upgrade later without changing the manifold.
Should be pretty good for a low power (under 250bhp) system, but I may go higher eventually.

yes the turbo is from a t1/2 chrysler but the wastegate housing is missing. I was thinking about drilling the oddball hole to t-3 specs....any thoughts?
I started autocrossing this year with a Saturn Wagon but it just lacks the instant response of a lighter vehicle and I have driven a few Miatas...I love the open air ride and the handling can't easilly be beat.
After trying out a 2001 nb I have settled on what I want in a miata. I want an NA engine doesn't really matter 1.6 rev high but 1.8 has a bit more torque. Turbo charged at just 6psi intercooled for maximum reliability. Suspension wise nothing special is planned. Kyb gr2's and thats about it but the chassis will get some attention with a FM butterfly brace, hard dog double diagonal bar, strut bars and lower braces to stiffen the tub us as much as possible. Finally some good sticky meats on stock rims for the stealth effect

It's not like I wouldn't know about a T3 on a miata.
It's most likely a 45 or 50 trim. It will spool quick but the 45 will start to run out of steam in higher rpms. 50 trim is the smallest I'd go.
