PRICE INCLUDES SHIPPING TO CUSTOMER. ProtegeGarage is proud to offer our reworked turbo solution for the Mazdaspeed3 and Mazdaspeed6. These turbos go under the knife to get a comprehensive rebuild and rework that includes the following;
- Ported and Polished Housings
- Larger Billet Aluminum Lightweight Compressor Wheel
- Clipped Turbine Wheel
- Teardown and rebuild including new seals, new bearings
- Limited Warranty against all part and labor failure
The result? A turbocharger capable of making 350whp efficiently and safely, a turbo that flows 35% more CFM over stock and a turbo that spools much quicker than stock. You'll make more power at stock boost levels, run more efficient horsepower at stock boost levels, and of course make more power at increased boost levels than you would by simply upping the boost of the stock turbo.
Dyno Gains Have Shown 30 Horsepower Gain Over Stock at Same Boost Levels! The dyno below shows a customer with a well modified Mazdaspeed3 using the reworked K04 turbo from Protege Garage.
Price includes all return freight costs to the customer. Due to high demand for this service lead time is at least two to three weeks from time of order and/or receipt of donor turbocharger. We offer the option of using a new turbocharger from Mazdaspeed or using a unit supplied by the customer. Regardless of what turbo is used - every unit will go through the same rebuild process. this ensures every unit will get the same new seals and bearings and the same level of performance.
Port and polish alone can greatly decrease spool-up time and increase boost potential. It decreases spool-up time by speeding up the exhaust gas velocity through the turbine. It gives top-end boost potential by opening up the biggest restriction in the exhaust system which increases the flow through the turbine.
There are three different options for turbos. You can send in your own turbo and we will rework it and return it to you. You can order a new turbo from us via Mazdaspeed and return your old turbo to us for a core credit of $400. You can also select one of our used turbos and return your old turbo to us for a core credit of $400.
