The turbo underdog uses is the best your going to get withoutt redoing the manifold for a t25 footprint...and then you'll need to go to a 3" exhaust to get the benefits of the small size. The 1.6l spools turbos like donkey dick.

Show me a 1.6l with a smaller turbo making better output. Then we can debate the cost vs benefit. I use a rule of thumb of at least 150tq by 3k its what I use to judge. And driving plenty of setups using this rule its a good point. A lot of 1.8ls have troubl achevingt this.
I will tell u a sr20 t25 on a 1.8l is awesome...the same on a 1.6l didn't spool/output much netter than my old t3 s60 but I haven't seen one with a 3" exhaust dynoed. Maybe check out some begi/fm 2554 dynos.

What do the cars that have all these motors weigh?
Also, assuming you get a turbo/setup that will be able to produce enough pressure and flow that low down, what makes you think the miata motor will be able to CONSUME it? And not just surge resulting in fail and aids?
Basically I think you're looking for a completely different car/platform and/or just day dreaming

that's also a 1.8L and not even his best dyno...it outputted better once his replaced that MSI with MS3, but you wouldn't want to hear that either.
I still challenge you to find a turbo miata 1.6L with the output you want. heck, you'll have trouble finding a 1.8L with the same.
