T3/T4 Hybrid Turbo too big?
I am looking at a t3/t4 hybrid turbo for $200 and i was wondering if you guys think that it is too big for the 1.8 in the miata. Will the lag be unbearable? i have stock internals and will be running the megasquirt pnp. so i will probably be running around 12 or 13 psi.

CJ, where are GT3271's only $6XX? That's like half what I usually see them for.

This is from WOT's price list. Very possible i have my numbers wrong as to what the GT32 is, i just guessed it was a GT3271.

I don't remember any specifics, but Ensign MarkP (the first guy here to throw down on a ChinaCharger aka GhettoCharger from ebay) said that the build quality was suprisingly good HOWEVER the turbo he got was different trims than expected. He is running a 1.9 with a 9k rev limit and it works for him. Probably less than ideal for a stock car. He made a ton of power though before his exhaust mani cracked (and then he shipped off)--300 wheel uncorrected.

I dont doubt they would work well for short term use, but what about trying 10, 20, or 30k miles on them. I dont doubt that my bb gt25 will go 80-100k with good maintenance and a little bit of just being careful not to spin it too fast or heat it up with super high egts, antilag, and running without a filter etc... I bet 95% of those fail before 50k miles. (no real evidence of this though, just first hand knowlege of paying less for something and then a few months later paying more for the real thing)
