Re: What turbo - 2023 edition
I may have a solution mate if your factoring in price and quality, the Problem Childs previous GT2871R. I still have it (minus the actuator). It was in from 78,000ks to 120,000 and still looks the business.

Re: What turbo - 2023 edition
On the valve springs, the head has already been reassembled, Mania report they normally do 200-300rwkw cars with stockers, so at this point the stockers remain. I contemplated biting that bullet, but David's assurance and fear of WWAIT Syndrome (see below), plus cost, meant stockers remain, for better or worse.
Choice of turbo still under investigation - Daffy I will get back to you on that, thanks for thinking of me .
American, good point on 'While We Are In There ...' syndrome - I have upped the ante by putting an ATI damper on the Boundary oil pump, still contemplating a flex fuel sensor though, but E85 injectors going in just in case.
My engine is next on David's list, so in a few weeks the car will have to go down there. Dunno where it will go, so many MX5s ...

I never met a horsepower I didn't like (thanks bwob)
