Default Disco Potato on miata

I have an opportunity to buy a GT28RS for 250 dollars that has less than 500 miles on it. my question is will it be too big for me? I have a 1991 Miata I have been throwing stuff together foor the past year for. I plan on doing a log and meth injection with no Intercooler. I am running Megasquirt PnP. I will be rebuilding this year but I don't have the $$$ for forged internals... Is anyone familiar with power limits on a b6 motor? I am looking for between 200 and 250 HP. I want decnt spool and a solid power band for autox... gotta push these nitto NT01's next year. I did worse on them than my stock tires due to lack of power and a shitty clutch this year...

i think its a perfect match. i think the gt28rs will take a little longer than mine but its deffinetly going to be a good turbo for it. always better on the 1.8 though

The kid im getting it from is 16... His stock t25 came loose at the flange and his dad thought it blew up so he gave it away... He got caught with drugs and cigarettes last week so his dad bought back the t25 and is selling me the turbo. And making him sell his sr'd mint 240 for like 2k...

What are you running for suspension/Brakes and what class are you running in. I suppose your atleast in Street Modified now that your boosted. I was running stock class with suspension techniques stock height springs, homemade 2.5" exhaust and a k&N drop in. Running a racingbeat roll bar and stock wheels with 205 Nitto NT01's on them. I did pretty good considereing this is my first year with a rwd car.

koni sports, 500/325 springs. top hats of my design. poly bushings all around. 1.8 brakes with stock rotors and hp plus pads. this car is an e mod car since it has so much weight taken out. its about 1900 pounds right now since i still have yet to make the cage for it. my local e mod enemy is a 1600 pound rotary swapped spitfire that is a pretty consistant top 10 car. got about .3 seconds behind him that event. i need some better tires that arnt 7 years old and ill have him no problem.
