Do you think he believes it is a 50mm turbo because it says a/r50 on the compressor housing?

to me it looks like the hood will not close over the charge piping. ask if hood is optional?
ask why he is selling this fine turbo machine?
ask if the engine already developed oil burning and blue smoke due to non intercooled ,100% stock, lean and knocking fuel system?
then tell him his miata was worth $2500 before he ruined the engine with this high tech turbo setup, and now its worth $500.

Scraping the above. You think that if someone wanted to sell a car, and the car was of the sort where you have to specifically state that it runs, maybe you'd have, oh... video from it running in the present year.

That's usually a warning sign.

I just noticed a rust-free southern '96 with hardtop, LSD, and rollbar on CL for $3500 if anyone is interested.

There is as much Ferrari in that vehicle as there is in your Miata. There is no connection other than being built in the same country. It is an Iveco (Fiat) vehicle design for use with four cylinder engines and diesels. All of the benefits of Italian craftsmanship and electrical systems coupled with an engine designed in the 1960s. The American version had different lights and lenses and would be impossible to find.

No redeeming features. Looks like The Styling is a cross between the front of Chevy Traverse minivan and rear of a Mazda MPV minivan.

Same company, lots of different guys. They are a design house that works on all sorts of different projects with hundreds of designers. In this case they were looking to design a utilitarian military box on wheels to carry stuff and people.
