A nice well-reasoned approach.  Refresh my memory... are you planning on using the stock Mazda turbo and controlling the internal wastegate, or are you planning on an after-market unit with separate wastegate?  I've got a stock turbo from the first 13B that I purchased and it would be pretty simple to hook it back up.  The only problem with it is that it's really heavy.  I'd prefer an aftermarket turbo and throttle-plate style wastegate (as opposed to a Delta-gate or one of those poppet-style units.)  That being said, has anyone come up with the real spec for the appropriate turbo, ie, T-what? turbine trim? compressor trim?  Lots of questions......
