What do I need?

You're asking a lot of the most basic questions that can be asked, that have been covered a million times and people get kind of annoyed with that. Read up on the site, search, and when you stumble onto someone doing something you like check to see if they have a build thread. That will answer a lot of questions for you.
Several years back people kind of avoided the VVT motors because the pre-VVT stuff was simpler, cheaper to make work, and we didn't know how what we were missing. Since Megasquirt 3 came out, the VVT motors are pretty much universally accepted to be superior in every way, at least among anyone that knows what they're talking about.
GT2860's have been an option for most miata turbo kits since god created the miata on the 8th day of the world. It's an entirely acceptable option, but if you're starting a fresh build involving a fully built motor, I don't think you'd get many recommendations for this turbo.
