Hi from what i can tell of ur engine pic most mx5/TX3 and familia parts should fit just a question does ur block have the water and oil outlets for turbo? only reason i say this is i cant see them in photo should be near the flexplate on the exhaust side just be two bolts plugging holes? earlier model BP motors even if they werent turbo have these.
Also for parts check flying miata was looking on their site the other day and in the wrecking section they had a fair few mx5 sumps already pre drilled for the turbo oil return.

These holes are on the exaust side? They probably used to have bolts in them. But I removed every bolt I could find when I was pulling it apart haha

Nope thats not them the holes ud be looking for a right next to the flex plate so little higher and too the right those holes are for a bracket that holds the exhaust manifold on i think.

Luckily where i have circled is where the holes are on older BP blocks so atleast they are their just need to be drilled and tapped the lowest one is oil feed and the other is coolant.

Now you are definately heading in the right direction with your build, Bp motor has a different Tappet cover to the ones we get here in SA.
If you need any info shout out, I have the same motor setup but not the 1.8 BP, used the big brother- 2.0L, currently making 715hp, there differences in the internals/cfm.
