Testing Waters: FS: '02 Protege5 Turbo

[MP5T]

Ok well here it is. I might be selling my Protege. Heres the info.

2002 Protege5 Black Mica(automatic)
39000 miles oil changed every 3k.. Bought at 35000 miles
switched to mobile 1 synthetic after turbo install
As for mods..
Garret T25 Fluid bearing turbo
TSI high flow FMIC
TSI BOV(custom recirculation)
Greddy cast manifold
Cast 2.5" Downpipe
Polished IC piping
TSI Injector Control Unit
Custom SRI
Custom Magnaflow catback exhaust

Style Mods:
MSP Headlight setup(PIAA GTX Bulbs installed)
PIAA Fog Lamp bulbs
Stubby Antenna
DaveB Gauge rings

Audio:
Panasonic CD 8300 motorized H/U
Boss 1200w amp
2 JL Audio W0's in sealed box

Tires are Dunlops and have 80% tread left
Car is clean inside and out except for scratches on back bumper and minor everyday driving scratches
Dont get me wrong, I love this car more than anything and still not 100% sure im gonna sell it but im thinking of moving on. Its extremely fast(will dyno it soon and let you know) thinking probably 200whp or so. I was even astounded how fast this car was for an automatic. And it handles like a dream. I have got on the throttle.. yes, but I have not dogged it out. I take care of this car and i would miss it alot. Looking to get somewhere in the vacinity of 14K for it(might negotiate) Make me an offer. PM me if interested. I would take it to the dealership, but i would rather see it stay amoung other mazda enthusiasts. If I cant get a resonable price then im gonna continue the journey to buid this car up. I'll post pics.
Thanks.

would you part out?

would you part out?

More than likely no. I would need to just sell it as is so i can pay it off then finance my other car. Sorry. I might if it came down to it though. What would you want off of it?

Hey i have the TSI kit (bought on car), the extra injector set isn't hooked up, do you have any information that could help me get the sucka going? Anything is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

The only thing I can suggest is either you get a different controller and hook the the injectors up, or just take the whole kit off.
The reason I say this is that I lost my corolla to those TSI kits, and both the store and the manufacturer was poor with their customer support.
Nice stuff so far.

Actually, the TSI kit is working fine. It did require some reconfiguring and such though. Not sure the TSI kit ruined your car but possibly something you did? I will say, its not the best of kits but it gets the job done and with a little work can run flawlessly. As for the comment on the customer support, I have a buddy who is friends with the guys at TSI so its all good. TurboMP3, my advice is the injectors and ICU is a major b**** to get running right, so I would get WRX injectors or, keep the extra injector setup and get a better unit(possibly emanage) to control it. Either way, the unit is difficult to get right. When you get the kit on or if you have it on now please show me some pics, i'd like to see it and maybe i can help you more too.
