Here's the deal. Took my car to the Mazda dealership last week because it was the engine was hesitating and they told me I needed an entire new turbo because mine was "broken". It would cost $3,500. So I took their information and spent nearly 2 grand buying the turbo MYSELF and having it...

My turbo died. If I order a GT25r from, say, ATPturbo.com, how will the install differ from that if I ordered it directly from Mazda? They're both GT25r's sure, but wasn't the one made for our cars modified slightly? I refer to this: http://www.miataturbo.net/showthread.php?t=6889 ATP wants...

One day I was driving and all of the sudden I experienced a violent bogging/shaking when trying to speed up. More specifically when applying enough pressure on the gas pedal to where the turbo would normally begin to spool. I took it to the Mazda dealer and they said it was pushing only 4 lbs of...

Thanks guys! Three more questions though. 1. Difference between the Apexicone Raptor HIDs and the DDM Slim Ballast HIDs? Both are sold by DDM and I can't find any differences anywhere besides that one is 10 bucks cheaper. 2. If I already have HIDs on my car (I'm replacing), do I need to buy...

In reference to DDM: Did you all just go with the H1 bulb type? There are quite a few. What are the differences? I know nothing about electrical and would like some advice since my ballasts are going out. And when it says "Our 55w HID Kit is not recommended for smaller fog light housings...

Well I wish I would have went with that site. I went with the LSD from ProtegeGarage. It's been a almost a week and it hasn't even shipped yet. I can't seem to get a hold of them either... I thought this site was reputable?

Well this confuses me, because if a broken LSD is the problem, wouldn't I need a new LSD (which regular protege trannys don't have) to resolve the problem? This would mean I CANNOT use a regular protege transmission to fix this right? I'd like to know as soon as possible whether or not I can...

I don't BELIEVE he was referring to the LSD, since the car would still run without it, correct? Because my car was stuttering and just unable to move forward. Like, it's not drivable. And do you or ANYONE know what year of a normal protege transmission I can use? Or is any year okay? I know i...

I have a 2003.5 MSP and about two weeks ago I had to take it in for what I thought was a clutch problem. Turns out, and this is what -he- said, a ring gear broke on the final drive carrier of the transmission...? I know close to nothing about transmissions so excuse me. The mechanic said the...
