i dont think there are any other turbos that will bolt on to the stock turbo manifold. im pretty sure the RX-7 turbos have its own footprint thats between a t3 and t4
for the amount of work it is to use the stock turbo, its prolly less to use a full to4 and stuff

stock t2 turbo doesnt bolt onto an na motor, without enough fabrication to make a full t04 easier

I'm using a TII LIM, portmatched to a 6port block, and an FD UIM, portmatched to the LIM. I'm not going to run into the fitting issues Aaroncake did with his N/A manifolds.
Thanks for that ebay link... that looks quite tasty, I'll have to see what my paycheck tomorrow will allow me.

The problem isn't the motor, the problem is clearance with the intake manifolds. I'm using a TII LIM, so no problem.

A 50 trim T3 turbo has a compressor wheel about 5% smaller than the stock turbo, but the exhaust side is considerably smaller. I have only heard of one person using a T3 turbo on a 13B, and it was a super 60 compressor. The HP capability is about the same as the stock turbo, but it spools a little faster.
Just get a stock FC turbo and manifold. It will be the easiest to make work.
