hahaha, remember what got me started the first time.

I hate it when people say stuff like that.

"It's not been done because it can't be." or "It's too expensive" or "It doesn't make any power"

Don't ever think because you can't buy it off the shelf that it's not worth trying or making yourself. There's something to be said for ingenuity.

I agree with you. When I was asking the mazda deal upgrade my protege to the protegespeed, they just say it's too expensive and they tell me it's about CAD$3000.
When heard that I thought it is o.k if it include everything.

$3000 CAD translates into what ... $2500 USD? That is a LOT of money to put in a stock Mazdaspeed turbo setup. You can get those for about $800 (used) with everything needed for a direct bolt on!

The reason the HiBoost is $3800 is because it is a high quality bolt-on kit that can push much more boost than the Mazdaspeed one. You get what you pay for, but if you're looking to convert your 2.0L into a Mazdaspeed turbo 2.0L you don't have to spend $2500 ...

I like the protegespeed not only because of the turbo but also the bump kit.

Oh I get it now, you didn't want just turbo but the body kit too. Why not just look for an actual MSP? About the same amount of money, and a lot less work.

I'm going to put a turbo on my P within 6mths or sooner

As long as this job holds out. I've got a friend I met that has a older RX-7 GT with a Turbo to help me out on adjusting the psi. I found its really not all that expensive to build by pieces T-3 Turbo exhaust manifold is only $300 or so shipped, and you can find 100's of T-3's or equiv on ebay for some as low as $200-400 bucks. My only other item that I'll have to find cheaper is the ECU, might try looking for a mazda with turbo in a junk yard maybe, intercoolers can be found cheap in the junks yards, and a oil cooler kit for $200. Air gauges for inside engine adjust & on for the interior of car. He's also added new injectors from Fords so, another junk yard item to hunt for. The trick is to just take your time & hunt down the parts, I just have more of a advantage becuase greater houston 2 miles from me has alot of junk yards for parts.

Thanks everybody! Finaly, I get the intake but just short ram intake,I want a coolintake but they don't that kind of intake which for 2001ES. The sound is good, but I don't feel much different about WHPs.

By the way, I may think about the hid light. Can anyone knows where can get the most cheap one? And it will be how much?
