You'll love it. Congrats!
 
welcome to the forums man...

there is no mazdaspeed turbo option as the mazdaspeed 3 uses a completely different set up then can be used on your 2.3l. there are a couple companies... hiboost and sci that make turbo kits for our cars but you loose the warranty...

if you are that worried about the warranty i would suggest going with bolt ons for now and going with FI later in your cars life...

I'm going with the factory upgrade kit ($2,000) and bring it up to 298 BHP & 310 ft.lbs. torque. I'll go after market goodies after warranty is over.

you can't just take a turbo and put it on the car you need all the other parts... manifold, intake, injectors, turbo, wastegate, downpipe, intercooler and its piping, and you need some sort of fuel management... pretty sure your friend is full probably of bs... as the ms3 just came out how did he get a turbo? yeah the ms6 uses the same one but how did he get that one??? anyways

thanks for the site man, thats what i wanted to do get the whole kit, my friend got it from the speed dealer ship in houston
 
are you positive he got a mazdaspeed turbo put on his mazda 3? just sounds like a load of bs to me... would love to see some pics and some specs on the system...

welcome to the site ! who is your friend and from what dealer did he get this from? i can guarantee you one thing....and make sure you understand this... the warranty for the mazdaspeed3 covers that turbo....your warranty DOES NOT. no matter what turbo setup you put on that car. think about it....mazda put a warranty that covers your car exactly as they delivered it to you. ANY modifications you do to it will VOID the warranty. you do not own a mazdaspeed3 therefore the warranty on it does not apply to you. just ask some protege guys that have mazdaspeeed turbo setups...they're not covered unless they bought it from a dealer that way. but anyways...welcome to the site! where in houston are you moving to? check out the tejas section often because we like to get together when we can and we have a few 3's in our group. plus we have several members working in mazda dealers, managers of autozones and dealers of audio equip...so we can get anything you want for a damn good price.

hes not really a friend friend but i know him friend u know lol, yea thats what i was thinking so either way im gonna get fvcked over really bad, im gonna live on the northside around veterans memorial b and i work at oreilly on veterans and antoine drive so could get parts cheap also just there though, and like i said im new to houston and dont know anyone here dont even know the way around, but it would be bad ass to hang around all the mazdas since in the valley theres not many modded mazdas and to have some from other mazda owners help when i get parts in for my car.....sorry going off topic
