manifold/ 3"exhaust
 
Ok, i finnally found out what kind of turbo i have... The turbo is a Garrett model and it is a hybrid T3/T4 combination. Small exhaust side (for a quick spool) and a biggercompressor side (for additional boost capabilities). The turbo kit itselfis from Flying Miata, but was designed by Corky Bell. i have a manifold that mates to it, but the turbo keeps falling off... does anyone know of a good setup to mate to my turbo?

What do you mean keeps falling off? Did you glue it to the manifold?

patsmx5 02-14-2008 10:43 PM

Yea you gotta splurge and get the good glue or that shit will definitely fall off....

1fastmiata 02-14-2008 10:43 PM

no, the turbo bolts either sheer off or back out, i have it down so they ony back out, ive even braised in the studs and bolts, nothing keeps them in... so im looking for a new exhaust systme, manifold back

I'll give you 100 for the manifold and turbo so you can start shopping for a better one....

1fastmiata 02-14-2008 10:53 PM

that turbo was very expensive... plus im not ready to part with it unless i can find a better setup... find me a better setup that will put me over 300hp with less then 20psi of boost, then we will talk, not that low tho

patsmx5 02-14-2008 10:57 PM

Sounds like you have a great setup, you just need to give better details, better description, and pics and whatever else you can to better convery your problem. But if you want to get rid if it, let me know.

what do you consider good? what are you looking to get out of it besides 300wheel . any noise concerns, inspection, damn there is so much to ask buy you only provide 0.0000000000009% of the info

1fastmiata 02-14-2008 11:24 PM

its for the track, looking for the least lag possible, im going to be running 15+ psi, it will have External BOV, no restrictions on inspection. i just want a kick ass turbo that will make 300hp easy

cjernigan 02-14-2008 11:26 PM

Ebay T3/T4

All BOV's are external unless you consider a recirc'd BOV internal. Did you mean external wastegate?

1fastmiata 02-14-2008 11:44 PM

dude, 3" is the right amount of flow for an exhaust, 3.5" exhaust is too much airflow.. which turns into not enough backpressure=loss of hp... i want to gain hp, not lose it
