Im in!!
I have decided that I am done with the JRSC, and its time to put on my big boy pants, and go turbo. I will admit that I just want more kick than the SC is giving me now (about 170WHP).....at first. That may/might/probably will change, but I will address that in the future. I already have a money-pit car, i dont want another.
Planning on piecing things together as funds come available, and will start the install when all the parts are here....so, this may take a while. As I get to the end of my purchasing list, I will take the SC system off, and sell it for a few bucks to finance the last bit.
Thanks for the automotive crack.

so, the manifold and first flange came in. Good looking parts.
I plan on making the downpipe to mate to my current Maganaflow cat, and my Magnaflow exhaust.
I will make a "test pipe" for (track use only) driving...
I am also researching exhaust options, as the Magnaflow, iirc, is only 2.25
My research here suggests a 2.5 or even 3.0 inch system will be better.
What is the overall thought/suggestion/reasoning? 2.5 or 3.0 inch?

I was sorting out all the flanges I would need....
I lined up the downpipe flange I got from Begi, and it is not the right one. They sent me what I ordered, but what I ordered was not right.
I ordered this:
BEGI Miata Turbo T25/T28 Turbine Outlet Flange BEGi
but the hole pattern is not right. I will get pics of this tonight, as I may need some help finding the right flange. Thanks in advance.

Dp flanges are finicky. Abe and I found out that even a very standard sr20 turbo has two different flanges, I had to drill out a hole or two to make it fit.
Your best bet is to shop around by eye and see if you can find one that looks right, and hopefully they have measurements to double check. Garrett's site is a good start. Find one of their turbos that's the same and search for that. The waste gate hole looks very square.

Build looks good so far. Do it slow and right and you wont have any problems. I will say the exhaust wheel on that turbo looks to have some oil on it do you plan to rebuild it before you use it?
