Turbo

[StratoMX5]

Hi all!

I have a friend that is taking a T4 turbo off of his Lexus to upgrade to a bigger one. I want to know the opinion of getting a used turbo. It has about 40K miles on it. Or should I just buy a new one? I decided it is finally time to start upgrading my car. (nana)

By the time you spend getting everything to fit and get over your headache I would just go and get a flying miata kit http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?dept=35 save you time and maybe your wallet or your engine lol

t4 would take forever to make power on a miata, I would go with something much smaller.
Flyin Miata has been turbocharging miatas since they were created, they are the best when it comes to turbocharging the miata.

If you use a 46 trim T4, you would get better efficiency than a 60 trim t3 (a t28 is a t25 with a 60 trim t3 compressor). Granted the increase is only 2% or so but your Aiata would never out grow that compressors flow capabilities. Also, it goes without saying that you can't use a t4 turbine section on a Miata.
