I have driven my 4G61T (before swapping to a 4G63T)with TDO4-15G and it was fun seem to die off after 5000rpms due to stock exhaust choking it down.
After putting on 3 inch exhaust it came to life and was very fun to drive, still seem to peter out at 6000rpms. This turbo is getting hard to find, I got lucky and got mine off of a dead 4G61T motor that came into a local Japanese engine importer. He sold it to me for 100.00 and it was in perfect condition.
I have a friend who is using a TEO4 turbo which came on the Chrysler Lebarons Turbo models back in the 90s. From what he had to do inoder to make it work so far seems to be a great option for the junkyard turbo guy. The TEO4 has a larger exhaust wheel then the TDO4 yet smaller then the TDO5. SO the TDO4 exhaust housing had to be machined to accept the larger TEO4 exhaust wheel, well worth it for a turbo that only cost 50.00.
His midrange is very powerful and would be at top end too if he would upgrade the exhaust system. Once he gets the 3 inch exhaust system put on the car his four door Mirage should be a beast. From what I can tell his compressor wheel is either a 13G or a 15G. Like I said this is a cheap alternative since it can easily be found in junkyards these days.
I have ridden in a 4G61T Mirage running a TDO5-14B turbo with a 6cm exhaust housing from an Eclipse. The car did have a 3 inch exhaust and trust me the car runs like a skolded dog! From start to finish the car pulls! Of course he has a good amount of mods on the car that brings the TDO5 to life on the 1.6L.
His mods are, 2.0L exhaust cam, 3 inch exhaust, ported exhaust housing, ported exhaust manifold, ported O2 housing, 2.0 modified air mass sensor with open canister and K&N air filter, Eclipse side mount intercooler, 450cc injectors, Eclipse fuel pump, and 2.0 ECU.
Cool part is that most Dsm guys are not interested in TDO5-14B turbos so its a cheap upgrade also. I have seen them as cheap at 75.00 on DSMtrader.
Last but not least the TDO5-16G (small). I have ridden in two mirages that had this turbo both running 1.6L. One had a 1.6L SOHC Mirage 1988, the other a 4G61T DOHC Mirage 1989. Both hit hard at 4000rpms and pulled all the way to read line. Both had the usual mods, ported everything, and 3 inch exhaust. I am sure if you mod the car out right you can have a real street killer. Just remember to pick power mods that will extract that greatest amount of power from the car and compliment all other parts on the motor. Both cars ran a 6cm housing, because the 7cm housing made the car too laggy on spoolup. You can now buy 16G turbos for around 495.00 new from some of the turbo suppliers online so shop around. I have also seen 16Gs on Dsmtrader for 200.00.
I hope this helps out those who are wondering what direction to head in as to what turbo they want to install on there 4G61T.

. It does pull a lot harder from 5000 to 7000 rpm where the 14b would fall off, even tho everything was ported(o2, 2g mani, 2.5 exhaust). 
Time for three inch soon
