Oh, ok. The FM/Begi were the same back in those days. I have the same manifold but it came with a external wastegate mount on the bottom. Pretty much the same thing that you did but they called it the FM3. I was worried about being able to put down over 400whp with that manifold design, but it seems to do the job just fine
Those numbers you put down were serious. I'm sure you will enjoy the rotary just as much.

Just read this thread front to back. Amazing. In for more E3 16g glory. I made 328/361 with one on my Talon and thought it would be fun to try on the Miata. I'm using the crappy ebay tubular mani with it, but now thinking a cast mani + Mitsu flange might be a cost effective upgrade when it falls apart.

Interesting. I've never considered a Garrett flanged turbine housing for a Mitsu turbo as a solution, but I'm not sure an 8cm^2 volute hotside is going to do me any good for making power down low, which is what I'm most interested in. But the v-band outlet makes it pretty tempting even though I'd have to drop more coin on an external gate.
Edit: Wait, how would that work? The side of the housing facing the center section is a bolt on affair, whereas a Mitsu center section connects with a v-band.

I have run the GT2560R, the EVO3, and a HTA3076R. Out of the three the evo 3 had the nicest powerband and the car was a blast to drive. I also feel if i had fixed a bunch of things and brought the boost up to 25psi i could have seen 375-400whp. Also the evo3 made close to the same wtq over the others. It was fun going down the highway and going 1/4 throttle and watching the boost gauge just hit 10psi and the car going from 60-100mph like nothing. Remember too this turbo is not ball bearing but it came on like a ball bearing turbo did, and with that said forced performance also is able to fit the turbo with ball bearings and a billet wheel. For me its best bang for your money.
