it's not a garrett, and requires an external wastegate, but she'll work.

You should have gone with that one. That t70 claims it uses the t3 flange.

 

that is maybe too big for a miata?

 

yeah that 70 is huge. I liked the t3 i know it was not garrett but im cheap. I wanted to go external wastegate, so it all works out. Now i just have to find a good manifold with anexternal wastegate or buy one and cut it up.

 

with this turbo i was thinking i would be at 10psi at about 3800 rpm.. crazy?

 

not crazy

 

good place to get said Manifold with an external wastegate other than ETD Racing.

 

If you still need a wastegate I have you covered there. Let me know if you need anything else for your build and I will be more than happy to help you out.

 

well you COULD have bought mine, same size only actually a garrett turbo and it has a internal waste-gate and more standard 3 bolt outlet.

But yours doesn't come with cheap ebay fittings :P <breaking *****>

 

BEGi, ETD, JGStools, OBX, or SSautochrome for T3 footprint.

 

and FM, I know we usually leave them out of the fold... but they are an option.

Personally I would go BEGi, you can get their newer design used or second hand new for around $350 (I paid $325 shipped).

 

Good luck with your chinacharger, I've heard too many bad things to not spend an extra 300-400 to get an authentic garrett.

 

i left them out for a reason, no T3 footprint, otherwise they would have been 2nd on the list.

 

thought they had one... my bad. this is what happens when you don't even bother looking at a vendors site anymore.

 

A buddy of mine used that one on a V6 Mustang, and even with all that displacement it still doesn't hit full boost (12psi) till 4200 rpm.

 

did the turbo ever **** out?

 

I wonder how it would fit/ when it would crack.
