I've been searching and searching eBay and Google, and every time I search "T3 turbos" or "T3 50 trim" I get all T3/T4 in the results. This is not what I want. I don't care if it's a chinacharger... the cheaper the better (well... to a point).
I'm looking for a 50 trim T3 with a .48 exhaust housing, internally gated. It's for a stock 1.6L. I want 230whpish with fast spool. I've done **** ton of reading on here and it seems like that turbo with the tacotaco manifold and a custom d/p will do what I want.
Anyone better at searching ebay for specific things than I am?

****, how are you guys finding these? I suck... lol
thanks! exactly what I'm looking for... (well, I think!? it is... will this meet my power goals?)
I read a thread where one guy had a Super60 and went down to a 50 trim chinacharger and made more torque earlier but a bit less HP at 13PSI. I forget if he was on a 1.6 or 1.8 though..

haha... what?
ya, I'm new to miatas... I know it would have less power, what I was getting at was how much it's good for for a 1.6L. I don't see myself needing more than 220-230whp. I have a 450whp RX7 to drive when I really crave boost.
I'm used to figuring out turbo sizes for big engines not little 1.6L ones...

What turbine "trim" are those turbos? are they both what you would consider stage 1 wheels?
yes.

same turbo, yes i believe same seller. i think i paid $175 shipped.
I'd like to see how a 50 trim Garrett wheel on a Garrett turbine outputs before I declare it a win. but no real complaints.
