With a good turbo kit you should have the powerband to use it, though you might have to change the ring and pinion. Pretty common on high power Miatas to do it.

The only high RPM issue I know of on Tremecs is on stock cars that use remote mount shifters (1st to 2nd grind because the engine/trans shifts out of alignment with the body mounted shifter). Mount the shifter to the trans and it's not an issue.

That's a pitty

By streetable I assume you mean no straight cut gears or switching to a dog box?
