Yep! Sometime I'll show you guys how little effort we had to put it to mount the intercooler. It's almost as if it was meant for this car! By the way, the top of the intercooler is where the black part is on the bumper... it's bigger than what you can see!

Well, I figured I only saw about half of it there. lol, maybe you should cut some "vents" into the bumper too, you want maximum air flow

I would have to say that this is definately the cleanest job I have seen so far for a turbo mod on any Protege. I just want to know one thing: How FAST is it?

Thanks I appreciate the compliment. It's pretty fast... I can't give you a hp # because I haven't put it on the dyno, and I can't give you a quarter mile time 'cause I haven't raced it... but it's pretty quick. I'm just kinda pissed right now because I'm having more problems.... I'm hearing some weird *** sounds when it spools, it's leaking oil, and somebody hit my car and ran when it was parked at work and messed up the rear suspension. On top of the previous problems... this is a lot of stress!

damn, great looking protege, you really need to bring it out to some of our local meets. I feel out numbered by all the N/A guys.
