I just purchased a Miata with a Flyin Miata turbo kit and I am trying to figure out exactly what I have. It's the Begi system 4.2 kit for a 1.6L. Anyone know what the specifics on this turbo are? The turbo:

Is it a Flyin' Miata kit or a BEGi kit? Two different companies.
If its an FM kit, might be a GT2554?

It's both according to the instruction book from FM that came with it.....

How old is the kit, any ideas?
I believe all the current FM kits use the GT2554R or GT2560R.

I believe that's a T28.
Might want to wait until/if Keith sees this, but i'm pretty sure it's a T28.

If you've got paperwork with the original owner's name, we can ID it easily that way. By '02 we were using our current turbo options on most kits, and a 0.48 A/R means it's a GT2554R - a T25 or "SBB" (Small Ball Bearing) in the parlance of the time.
Back at that time BEGi was producing the components for our turbo kits.

The paper work has T28 highlighted on the shipping manifest. I do have the original owners name and paperwork. Best to call the shop on Monday?
