16G Turbo on our Capri.....

it'll work, im not entirely sure about the flange though. Keep in mind Miata's are topmount. the collector and flange will have to be cut and re-welded to the other side for a bottom mount turbo like our stock system

why do that? the clearance would still be the same right? if you put a different turbo on it you would already have to redo the exhaust and cooling lines?

if you keep it as-is, the turbo would be justting through the hood. Miatas dont have a lot of room between the block and the framerail (rwd engine, not transverse) so the turbo mounts to the top of the manifold. You would have major clearance issues, most likely with the hood but also the radiator

Look where its mounted:

it would work but remember when turboing a miata you have to have a manifold with the flange on top.. turbo must go up, not down, so most miata manis will be flanged on top (you hit the steering linkage if you "hang" a turbo)

I will be running a 16g in a month or so. But im using a evo8 16g which is twin scroll so i'll have a some what complex manifold. Im getting mine made buy LoveFab. If you were anywhere near Michigan I would highly recomend them, they do AMAZING work. I could just have them use my car for a mock up and make you one too
