Smallest turbo that is readily available used?
I am needing a very small turbo, what is the smallest that can be semi-readily found used and what vehicle(s), and/or engine(s) does it come from? Maximum mass flow rates needed for the power goals will be around 17 to 18 lbm/min.

It's going on a 500cc engine that will turn up to 11K rpm. The GT12 and GT15 garrets would be fine but I'd rather spend a bit less. 17 to 18 lbm/min is a very small mass flow rate. What type of turbos are the stock 3000gt units so I can find compressor map and check if they will fit this application.

Heres a good site with a few MHI and garrett compressor maps and other stuff that we should know but few care about.
