I wanna go Turbo?

I'd say get exhaust, and a good midpipe first you will need these anyways and it will give you a little more power for now, thats what I did then read up and make a list of what you'll need then watch the for sale ads and you'll be on your way. I got almost everything for little less than $2000 that way. If you have to have the work done expect to spent more, labor is expensive and its hard to find shops that do turbo installs, if this is the case maybe trading cars up to msp might be a better idea.

What exhaust you running right now? If it's stock, I'd invest in an exhaust system that's more freeflowing than the stocker.

Im running a Greddy Evo2 full catback. That should work right???

Im actually either going to do the install myself or have Ken at protegegarage do it.

Figure about $3500-4000 with install,how much do you owe on your car msp is probally a better idea, dont get me wrong I love turbo p5's but owning a turbo is alot of frustrating work. Also see this tread http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123660552
I just dont wanna see that happen to you, he had to pull his whole engine out to fix it right.

i love this forum, people are so damn helpful. its cool that people look out for each other even without knowing the person personally. ok enough of the corny talk. I wanna go turbo so bad, but i also need a reliable daily driver, plus i have 2 maxed out credit cards, 2 car loans, and a personal loan so im pretty much suck when it comes to money. I make good money at Pepsi, but not enough to drop a couple hundred everytime something goes wrong with the turbo. I think im going to wait on the turbo. i might buy the kit if i find a good deal and let it sit in the garage until i can go forged and have it all installed, tuned, and running right, but for now i think my next projects are going to be new 16's for my new tires, a gemini cf hood painted 2 tone to match my car, HID's, and last but not least a nice car alarm.

I think my best bet would be to get caught up on my credit cards (which aint bad) make my car look sick, then save up and go big, built engine and hiboost turbo kit running 12+PSI
