Ed,
After recent events, I've been looking at T04 turbo's but I really don't
know what the A/r ratio is, or what are the advantages to a low ratio vs. a
high ratio.  I also noticed that most of those turbos are only oil cooled,
while the stock turbo has both oil and water feeds to it.

I would think that for aircraft use, you would need water cooling as well.

If he is using the stock Mazda turbocharger, I believe he can get that kind
of boost at altitude.  The stock turbine out-let area is really inadequate
for the amount of exhaust gas mass flow you can get at WOT.  They have had
continuos problems with boost creep on the Rx-7 (at least some model years)
due to this.  So with the effective A/r of the turbo that small, 38" is
probably attainable where it wouldn't be with a turbine housing sized for
aircraft use.

I personally believe getting the stock turbo modified as offered by the
Aussies at this URL overcomes some of the limitations of the stock turbo for
aircraft use as I see them.  Of course going to some of the T4/T3 series
turbos can do the same as they have turbine housings with A/rs ranging from
around 0.4 to over 1.2.
