so i was picking up my miata from the shop after he installed my wideband and installing my intercooler and made up the piping for it. and as i was leaving my turbo decided to **** the bed. i drove it back to the shop and left it there.
so im in search of a replacement turbo but i cant find what turbo the car came off of. its a t25 flange with a 3 bolt exhaust, the wastegate is 5psi and its internally gated, and also a weird thing is that it cant be clocked. i think its a saab unit but i cant find anything similar. maybe its a volvo turbo? idk
i know its a garret unit

but just to make this sad story better, my intercooler piping is a work of art! here is some of it before it went in

looks like TIG rod in the back...
nice ic pipes... what welder do you use?
i cant help with the turbo ID, but that seems like a fairly rare thing to come upon (meaning its not a standard flange set)

i go to him for pretty much everything. plus when it comes to miatas it helps that he has a boosted one as well that he races
