kind of teeing off this thread but i'm also looking to do a HKS SSQV in the near future and need to get hard pipes.. are they really all ~$300??? seems expensive. And is the black HKS SSQV a replica/knockoff or will it work/sound the same?

I have this A'pexi turbo timer and haven't tried to install yet but i'm wanting it to go as smoothly as possible. Would these instructions be the same on a 03 MSP as the MS3? I haven't been able to find a write up on this exact timer with the MSP.. all mix and match with different timers or...

interesting... maybe i'll try that before i get something new to cover it

Received the turbo (last week) also fast shipment, thank you. I have one question though, and it may be an obvious answer, but is the turbine outlet supposed to have 4 studs and a hole on the flange? or should there be 5 studs or maybe 5 holes.. I just want to make sure I have everything ready...

nice and straight. I like it

which emblems have the locator holes? i don't want to take those ones off lol.. the "protege" and "mazdaspeed" shouldn't i don't think. But i could see the M emblem having it... hmm

same here.. mine has a weird rusty yellow look and i also can't decide if i want to completely debadge. Thought about ordering a "turbo" emblem in cursive from ebay or something but it would be easier just to debadge lol..

The turbo has 2 small cracks (not sure exactly what part of the turbo it was but the mechanic showed me.) Changing coils and plugs tonight and got a turbo on the way (purchased from scratchnsniff) and also ordered the wga from ATP so hopefully the MSP will be on the road after all these repairs..

This thread can be deleted. I purchased a turbo from scratchnsniff. Thank you though

Pictures would be great and what is your price?

I'm wanting to buy a stock OEM replacement turbo that is still in working condition for my 03.5 MSP. LMK what's available out there anyone.

Yeah that's the plan.. only one I've seen is from scratchnsniff for $300 for turbo only and if that WGA i mentioned ^^^ is the correct one then it is $79 so I wouldn't be upset about those prices to get those parts for my car. I PMed scratchnsniff but haven't heard anything back yet. Didn't...

So the latest news on the problems I've been having is that the turbo does need to be replaced but the wastegate actuator is also needing replaced because it seems to be leaking vacuum which is why the car is running poorly (from what I've been told by the mechanic working on it). My plan is to...

sent PM about the turbo

I believe you guys that the bulb is 194, especially if you've used them with success but why does Sylvania's website show 3652 for the license plate and the rear side marker is the 194? Just curious.
