FWIW, Boost Lab is having a sale and he's local to me and a friend.

IMO that's big turbo for a Miata. Agree, it will be slow to spool, especially compared to what you're running now. Are you still just looking for 300whp+? If so, the easy move is to a t3/t4 hybrid. There are few in this thread that are running the eBay t3/t04b with single and dual ball bearing CHRAs. I couldn't find any of the BB versions that were direct swaps. They were either v-band, 4 bolt or 5-bolt w/o a WG port/hole. Here's the journal bearing version of those turbos:

That is essentially a drop-in (if the photo is as-advertised) since the WG port sits directly over the turbine inlet. Both turbine and compressor are significantly larger than your current t3 and it will support 300+ hp.

I've been looking at a GTX 2860R, which I *think* might be a drop in.
Turbo: https://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchan...de=GTX2860Rsub
Exhaust housing: https://www.atpturbo.com/mm5/merchan...y_Code=GTHGT28
But not 100% sure if that's bolt in or not. Also, there was a page that you could select all of the stuff in one go, but can't seem to find it right now.

His car does 120mph in the 1/4. Mine does 7.7 @ 90 in the 1/8th when it's not destroying diff housings and axles.

You have had more trouble with turbo's then anyone else I have talked to with my setups. You also are probably running it harder then 90% of my customers.

I didn't realize you were tracking the car- though that doesn't seem like much service even from an eBay turbo.
ATP is your go to for Garrett turbos with a Ford 5-bolt exit flange so you can drop it in.
Here's the Garrett equivalent of that eBay t3/t4 from ATP:
Garrett Turbocharger, T3/T4E, 50Trim Compressor, StageIIITurbine : atpturbo.com
You need spec the turbine AR, bolt pattern, etc.
ATP has the Ford 5-bolt turbine housing you need with a bunch of different Garrett GT turbos- like this GT28:

Ball bearing:

Shoot me an email. I might be able to cook you something up that works with something a bit more well named and a little bit better on track.

Capable of well over 300 whp but spool will be worse than a 2871r. Lots of 2871 miata dyno sheets to get an idea from. You'll likely be giving up a crap ton of spool compared to your current setup.
