Wasting my time with a 1600 turbo.
Unless you dont live in America.
Outcome after spending the day tidying up my roadtune on the dyno. Greddy TD04 on a 1600. Got pretty warm at the end from heatsoak so IAT were getting pretty high, but no knock even at 60degrees cel. Tune was fairly safe because race car.

Yeah though in my use case of it mostly being a track car where im depending a lot of time between 4500 and 7500, the bigger turbo seems the better go. Plus I think the 2860 is a bit more efficient at higher boost levels so should hopefully help with temps.
Someone smarter than me might have better info though.

Nice, I have a GTX2860 Gen2. What is crazy is it spools way sooner than the RS that you have. If you ever get the inclination to try a GTX I dont think youll be disappointed, I love mine. They also sound like a jet fighter because of the compressor wheel design with the anti surge housing.

your 1800 probably helps that spool as well haha, but yeah I heard they are pretty nice turbos. Im pretty happy with 19psi byt around 4k though.
Also funnily enough due to NZ lockdown and also having a non start issue I hadnt driven the car since march. I took it for a hoon the day after the dyno and it felt quick, might have spanked a modifed evo 4 of sorts in a "mexico run" and was pretty happy with it. Plugged my laptop in to download the tune after and noticed the boost controller wasnt on in TS. Checked with tuner and he was like we did high power runs so not sure why thats off, ill check logs. Looks like he had done a wastegate pull after and forgotten to turn it back on so I had only been on the wastegate 160kw tune. Put the boost controller on, went for a few onramp pulls, and yeah, 200kw is quite a lot faster than 160 haha, and more than enough for an mx5.
Also shows that even 160kw/220hp is still fun and quick in these cars haha, especially when you havnt driven it in nearly 6 months.
