About to buy a GT2871R (part# 743347-2) off the miata.net classifieds ( http://www.miata.net/cgi-bin/isc/classifieds.cgi?action=detail&AdNumber=70989&CategoryID=113&SubID=1085&Position=24&TotalCount=24&Session=482c90314d4f7d59&FirstPage=20&LastPage=24&prevaction=show)
Looks like this will bolt up to the FM manifold, and the sizing is appropriate with some headroom, but according to Garrett ( http://www.turbobygarrett.com/turbobygarrett/catelog/Turbochargers/GT28/GT2871R_743347_2.htm)theinlet is bigger than the old FM kit turbo (4" vs. 2.75") so I'll just have to figure out a new intake.
