So I have this small turbo I want to drop on my Miata it came with the headers supposbaly from another Miata , but I have no idea what type of downpipe it needs can anyone help or will I have to get a custom one

doesnt look like a standard flange.

this piece is bolted to the turbo, unbolt it and see if the turbo has a standard T25 DP flange. also take a picture of the manifold that you have and the flange on the manifold and turbo.

I ont have tools rn but I think it is a standard t25 the problem is that if I remove that i won't be able to use the waste gate that came with it ... what can I do about that

Thats not a T25. looks like some weird OEM turbo from another vehicle.

at a minimum you will need a custom manifold and downpipe to mate with this turbo, will be easier and cheaper to junk this and just get a standard T25 turbo and then you have a whole lot of different pre made manifolds and downpipes to choose from.

Stop being so lazy and clueless and asking really stupid questions, and never build a turbo setup around some weird oem application turbo, which would be the 1st thing you'd learn if you were actually researching on how to turbo a Miata.

Okay first of all like I said this turbo came from a Miata that was turbo it has its own manifold for it and everything the only question I asked was what kind of flange I need I don't mind getting a custom downpipe

If you REALLY want to use that turbo you need to replace the outlet adapter or find someone who will build a downpipe to match it. But you knew that already. I've never seen one like it and wouldn't waste time trying to match it.

borka 11-09-2016 06:53 PM

So where is the downpipe that matches this custom manifold and turbo?

if you didnt get it, then your only choice is find a fabricator to custom make you the downpipe.

If you posted some measurements I could help you identify it. That would require you taking it apart, though.

It honestly looks like a t3 40-50 trim from a turbo-diesel. If so, all you might need is a china v-band wastegate adapter. Dunno, though. Doesn't look like a t3 inlet flange to me, doesn't mean it's not still a pretty standard t3.

What Manifold is that?
WEIR?
