    To boost or not to boost.....

    simply stated, overkill the fuel system. 440 injectors, fuel pump, APEXi S-AFC to name a few. If you don't overkill the fuel system, your going to be cussing the day you put the turbo on when you experience detonation and you blew your motor. Be careful and know what your getting yourself into...

    is it legal?

    If I had to guess, I would assume most people here speed, that's illegal, but do you really care about that.

    is it legal?

    fu@k it, unless you get an @ss cop, it shouldn't be a big deal. I've got 5% tint on every window of my p5, in fact I've had 5% tint on every car I've ever owned and never had trouble with cops. I seriously doubt acop is going to make a fuss over a clear light.

    Mazda screwing our resale value?

    laserblue, Anytime you choose apr of rebate, of course it will take a few years to recoupe the money you gave up. If you would of taken the rebate, as of right now I think it's 2500, you would not be so hammered in the car. After a while the zero percent will lower the payoff to equal out...

    Mazda screwing our resale value?

    dealers don't give a flyin flip about kbb or nada. We usa black book that's printed bi-weekly. For any doubts, we use a gray book for pre 97 models. Most the time it's a matter of opinion than what's stated in the books. Alot of things effect trade in value. Local prices are just that, local. If...

    Mazda screwing our resale value?

    the 12,990 pr5 is a base 5 speed model. If you want additional equipment, just add for it. Such as moonroof and 6cd pack is 690. Add 690 to 12,990 and that's what you can buy that one for. If you want one, shoot me an e-mail or call the number I posted before and ask for Mike Miranda.

    Fastest times???

    I just had a new personal best. 9.802 in the 1/8 .126 reaction 2.356 0 to 60ft Turbo charged. I don't want to call bs on you NA guys, but I ran right at an 11 flat with exhaust and intake. Hard to believe that different cams will improve speed by almost a full second. I could be wrong, but...

    t3ase, A guy here locally blew up running 15psi daily, he spiked at 17psi. It's sitting here at my shop waiting on 4800 to fix it. Might want to turn it down to 10psi. A guy I work with runs 5 1/2 psi daily, flips the boost controller and it's 12psi. He's boosted 15psi for short stints, but even...

    Where can i get a shop/service manual for the Pro5?

    t3ase take some ritalin. You can get shop manuals from mazda parts. It might not be the cheapest, but well worth the money if you plan on doing some major mods. Another thought, go to mazdaspeedmotorsports.com, sign up, and they have shop manuals on pdf. format(I think). Hope this helps.

    hit a curb

    the main reason mine took so long was they had everything in(parts) then they took the old cradle off and found my power steering rack snapped in two. They had to order that which took about 2 additional weeks.
