Bought a 91' miata with a broken turbo on it however I'm not sure what turbo it is and where I can get a rebuild kit. If someone could tell me and link a good rebuild kit with it that would be wonderful.

I think most people will need more detail than a small photo—where you can't even read the largest lettering on the turbo—in order to help you.

oh sorry, idk why the imagine went down in quality does this help. Now that I'm looking at it, its a t28 but now the question is what's a good rebuild kit? Would a random ebay kit be fine?

If you're having trouble finding the turbo and rebuild kit I don't know how much luck you're going to have with figuring out how to fix it...

The part number and serial number are right there on the front. Did you not try punching something into Google followed by the words "rebuild kit"?

I'm asking more for a good recommendation for a rebuild kit cuz I'm not sure what brands are good or if an eBay kit is missing something I might need etc etc. Also, I just said that I just saw the plate and it said t28

it's a piece of crap. throw it in the trash and get another one for most likely the price of a rebuild kit and definitely less than the price of a rebuild.

That looks like a tacotaco manifold, dunno why or how it's got a t28 on it. Looks like it's could have an adapter on there, to convert from T3 all to run a hot pile of garbage turbo. That's ******' dumb.

I'd try sweet talking MKturbo to sell you just the turbo, maybe a downpipe. Otherwise I'd try and find the same v-band 50trim T3, but they seem to be in short supply since MK started kicking ***. You'll need to make/mod the downpipe.

Is the manifold cracked? It looks like a cracked by the mount, it has an adapter and that is definitely an ebay turbo... So yea an ebay rebuild kit will work. or a new turbo.
