Save the money. It's not worth it to try to massage any more power out of the F2. Gains would be minimal, and more than likely, psychological more than anything. We had a member on MX6.Com buy just about every bolt-on and then some for his MX6 LX, and in the end, he only managed a 15.6 in the...

Buy the Protege, and use the Protege for a beater. The MX6 can be made alot faster, a lot cheaper.

Keep it, I think the MX6 GT is an ideal first turbocharged car. Plus, they can be made very quick on the cheap. As long as compression is good, and the car isn't in too bad of shape, you should be fine turning up the boost on it. The 7.8:1 compression ratio allows for big increases in boost...

Heh, keep thinking about picking up a 95 Kia Sportage and transplanting a genuine Mazda FE DOHC in, and boosting it. Hyundai's the same way though, my mom bought a 2002 Elantra, when she got it home, I thought she had picked up a Saab

Anything by Christopher Guest Memento. I had fun watching it a couple times back to back trying to figure out what the hell happened. While I was drunk.

Do you have a boost gauge? If you don't, go get one, no turbo car should be without. If boost levels are still fine, then don't worry about it. I'd be more worried if it were loud, rather than quiet.

Wouldn't a hole in the wastegate line actually bleed vacuum away, thus keeping the wastegate closed, rather than open?

Erm... you mention intercooler, but I don't recall Mazda producing any 2.0 turbo engines, except for the old FE 8V. ???

Looks like another gimmick, right up there with tornado air intakes and electric turbochargers.

How much is gas on the east coast again? It gets a bit expensive driving my car anywhere besides the track and back, considering it gets roughly 12 miles to the gallon.

Turbocharge it

I'll be attending again. Hopefully the dragstrip will remain part of the event, I enjoyed it last time. Been looking forward to the next one since I rolled out of the Barona parkinglot last time.

Erm... I have no problem transitioning between quick lefts and rights...

A good rider on even a 250 would hand a MSP it's ass on a nice mountain road.
