Okay....
Let's get the testosterone under control...
The SEMA P5 show car had a Garrett GT28R Turbo in it.
You may remember, v. cute blonde, yellow car, carbon fiber hood?
The place in Colorado was Flying Miata (Grand Junction)
They used to build Protege stuff, but the demand just wasn't that strong, and the 3 is replacing it anyways..there's a 2.0 turbo kit for sale in Phoenix in the Arizona Region SCCA Classifieds.
Just about any aftermarket turbo is stronger than factory.
Factory has to tune for the clueless, bad gas, poor maintenance and so on.
When the clueless break something, it's never their fault.
Dealers aren't my favorite place, and there is no profit in dealers installing stuff. You guys can b**** about which mag is the most rice, but at least at some point, you might see a how-to article and have a shot and learning how to do this stuff for yourselves. Do it yourself and you save the $75 per hour labor...you can buy a lot of stuff for just a couple hours of labor.
FWIW, When the warranty claim is denied, it's denied by Mazda, not the dealers.
So picture this, you spend a couple of days on a car, the car leaves, something unrelated breaks, customer comes back, you do the repair, Mazda denies the claim, you as a business person are out all the time and money, and you make an enemy of the person you were trying to do a favor for.
Truth....a certain MSP driver (Phoenix, Arizona) cranks 15psi boost on his 7psi car, brags about his kills on this and other forums, puts a hole through both sides of the block you can stick an arm through and tries to get a warranty claim.
When it's denied...it's Mazda's fault, the dealers fault..but we all pay for bonehead moves like that.
P.S. PeeWee was a child molesting POS that cried like a little girl when he was busted with his weenie in hand.
Celebrity does not equal character...it equals Character disorder.....
