haven't switched yet...not sure...i'd really like to get the tuning down...it just is so much more difficult with an auto...i may be adding an extra injector to help with maxed out stockers...to me it would be so much more easy to tune! i spoke with tony about it the other night and he agrees..

oh I would be giving him money for the parts but its still going to cost me an arm and a leg, plus I still need to contact lentech regarding parts for a stronger transmission

you'll still need some sort of ems to run the msp setup!
Yeah, the price does run up quickly. I missed my chance on buying some complete turbo kits over the summer because I hesitated so I have pretty much spent the last 3-4 months peicing everything together. If I can remember correctly it's gone like this:
MSP Turbo ~ $300
MSP ECU ~ $200
MSP Exhaust Manifold ~ $100
Tapped Mazda Motorsports Oil Pan ~ $100
Corksport S and J-pipes ~ $200
MAM FMIC Setup ~ $1000
Cermaic Coated Turbo Housing ~ $100
Misc. Gaskets and Hardware ~ $100
So with all that I'm around $2100 already and I don't have a clutch (I'm hoping the stock P5 one will work for a while) or a decent exhaust nor do I have a boost or wideband O2 gauges (which are really needed). I'm estimating that by the time I am finished it'll probably be nearer to $3000 but that's still cheaper than Hiboost. Granted, this does not include all the money I have spent on N/A mods that are carrying over and probably forged internals when I realize 6 psi just isn't enough. It's an expensive hobby as I have been told many times and I'm cringing already at the amount of money I have already spent... Good luck.
