Which of these turbos would be best suited for a 1.6 Miata that has Supertech forged pistons 8.8 compression and some slight porting work on the head.
I am open to suggestions, the manifold is a T3 manifold so hence why I am looking at T3/T4 turbo. I previously ran a IHI VJ-11 turbo on my older setup.

Sorry guys, my bad for not providing more info and thanks for pulling me up. LOL no offense taken.
I am looking at around 220-240whp in terms of power, I want decent spool with good wide powerband, in short a very fun street turbo setup.
I expect that I will be running 10-14psi.
Let me know if I need to provide more details.

If you want 240whp, good spool, and a wide powerband, sell your built 1.6 and 1.6 turbo parts and buy a stock BP4W 1.8 motor, a T25 1.8 manifold, and a small T25-based turbo (either an SR20 T25 or a GT2560R). You will be significantly happier with the end results and your out of pocket costs should be minimal.
