Are you looking for a stock Mazda turbo, or an aftermarket one?
The one I have [had] was a used '91 stock single stage, so that would be the
easiest replacement.
What's you're price, Rusty? Direct email is sladerj at bellsouth dot net.
Do you think that the turbo was about to go anyway?
Probably. There was defintely some play in the bearings.
or is it just not the right turbo for our application?
Depends what you want it to do for you. I think it should stand my planned
usage.
Were you running a wastegate?
I had it closed with the manual push/pull cable.
What MAP were you running when the turbo blew?
just under 50 inches - maybe 8 - 10psi of boost
Rusty’s turbo is the same as yours, do you plan to replace it with an
Identical turbo?
Yes. I think so. This time I'd like to have one thats in good shape to start
with.
Todd and I (and Mecanair and perhaps some others) are also running that
turbo.
I don't think there's any problem with the stock turbo running at reasonable
boost speeds. If a rebuilt one lets go, then I'll upgrade.
