Can a new (larger) turbine be install in the stock turbo??  Or..
Could you use a turbo from an engine with the same HP and altitude
requirements...like a turbo from a TIO-360 as a replacement??
I wish I could use my low mileage stock turbo.

Is your exhaust manifold or turbo cracked Ernesto?
You could always replace them with a stock turbo from the 89-92
years.

I am not familiar with the turbo from a TIO-360.

I think my 91 turbo and manifold are fine.  I just wanted to know if I could
make the stock turbo better (for altitude) by replacing the stock turbine
with a larger unit.  If that isn't possible, I wanted to know if the turbo
off an existing 200 hp aircraft motor (TIO-360?) built for attitude would be
a match for my 13b application.  I know a manifold would have to be built
for a different turbo.
Thanks, Ernesto

Rumor has it the Mazda unit is roughly the same as a Garret TO3 so maybe
Garret parts would fit. Best thing is take it to a turbo shop.

You can always replace the whole turbo. You might need a new manifold.
Whether a TIO-360 turbo will work I have no idea.
