the thunderbirds and the probe turbo's are IHI's... VERY good turbo's imo... they also come on subaru legacy turbo wagons... they are VERY small but will suit a 1.6-2.4 L engine fine... they won't produce much boost though... like 6-8... 10psi MAX.

The Turbo 4 Mustangs and I think Merkur's had the T03...

IHI are water/oil cooled which is MUCH better than being just oil cooled... and they spool Very fast...

As far as the rotary turbo's... I'm not sure which one's on it... I can find out tonight though (my buddy has one). but they're NO smaller than an ihi or a t03... the 1.3 L B.S. about rotories is just that Bull Sh!t... they have 3 FULL Intake,Ignition,Power,Exhaust cycles PER ROTATION... it takes a 4 banger 4 rotations to get 1 full cycle... rotories put out a LOT of volume... the true displacement works out to 2.something mid to high 2 liter though...

The turbo should be fine... I'll make sure I'm not wrong tonight though.

If I were you I'd look for any turbo off any car of similar displacement... preferably water/oil cooled (has 4 lines coming out of the cartridge instead of 2)...

Oh and I have LOTS of saab turbo's if you want.
