To run a bigger turbo, With a t3 flange most turbos that are ball bearing are only external wastegate, Id like to run a bigger precision, but will require a different manifold or cutting up my cast log manifold and welding it in.

Honestly, I think cutting / modifying the existing one will be your only option other then having one made. If that's the route you want to go, check out here: https://www.miataturbo.net/fabulous-...-thread-72795/

sure, the head design isnt anywhere near as good as later 1.8 engines, but others (mr.mattman and greg from car passion channel) have made big power on them. Matt's car is stock head with a built bottom end, making over 500whp.

Excuse me, but are these dumb clueless questions and statements seriously being asked/stated by a CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL TUNER WHO TUNED 30+ Miata’s in his area?!
from your very first post you were a clueless mattman/broke n boosted fanboi. Should’ve at least done enough research to not be so blatant and at least appear like you know what you’re doing
What’s funnier is that just about every single noob who claimed to know something ended up being more clueless than your average high school sanceboi
