Where to get a FMIC for my 1987 Turbo RX7 plus upgrade questions

i can seem to find any FMIC for my car. Anyone know of any places that sell them?
Also i figured out what upgrade path i want to go with my car

I have a street port rebuilt motor right now with 90 compression all around
i was thinking of getting the GT35/40 Turbo but i need a T4 flange and i dont know where to get the adaptor to go to my 3 bolt 3" downpipe.
For fuel im going to get Microtech MT-8 with 550cc primary and 1000cc secondary (does anyone know if the LT-8 is worth getting over the older MT-8?
Profec B spec II boost controller
ACT Prolite flywheel
ACT 6 Puck clutch
New tubular exhaust manifold with a 40MM external wastegate
Koyo Aluminum Radiator

If anyone has any advice about which turbo to get because the GT35 is going to run me around $1300.

Car is running excellent right now but the stock turbo is shot runs to 5psi only because of the wastegate just flaps around and the turbine has a lot of shaft play

Are you serious? A simple google search for "87 RX-7 intercooler" pops up over 39,000 results with both the popular aftermarket Greddy and HKS FMIC offerings in the first couple pages.

im shure they would run up to 15psi, you would go lean and have to rebuild. 1000cc's will work for my TO4B but not for a gt35.
doing a quick search for a GT35/40 dyno sheet shows 370whp @13psi so you can assume something closer to 390whp at 15psi. or ~450bhp. (all very rough #'s do not expect to match 100%)
I'd do something like 720primary 1680 secondary.

FMIC I would suggest buying the greddy kit for $899 and all the other stuff can be found at www.ATPturbo.com
These guys will have everything you need for you build. Trust me I have ordered from them like 10 times.
