So I posted on another forum and got flamed beyond flamed about how this car has no aftermarket. Is that fair to say? Is the engine really that bad? Would it be worth swapping a newer mazda engine, possibly from a 3 in? I've driven a 2010 3 and that car was pretty powerful, ran about an 8 second...

If I were to buy a turbo kit, have it installed professionally, Would I need to buy ANYTHING else? Or just the turbo kit? Probably a new exhaust system, right? What about a engine swap? Anyone ever through a RENESIS in a protege5? Obviously that would be a much more complex process.

Hey I'm starting to think about modding my protege5. It's a 2002 automatic, has 60k miles on it. I'm thinking cold air intake, exhaust system, springs/lowering, some more engine mods, not sure what though. Also going to be dropping around 2 g's on a stereo system. What are your recommendations...
