Any benefit to the 1.6L?

I really want this yellow Miata in my town but like I was told to look for the 1.8L back in the day but I didn't know if he 1.6L maybe holds turbo pressure better?
 
Nah, the 1.8 is more stout. It was originally developed to go in the 323GTR which was turbocharged, so the BP motor (1.8L) is stronger. The 1.6L B6 ain't a bad engine though!

If you're looking at an early Miata, keep an eye out for the short nose crank issue.
