    Turbo or not?

    Well I picked up a 2001 Protege with an FS-DE, and was wondering if a turbo will be needed to hit 190-200 hp at the wheels. I want it to be a road course, everyday driver sort of thing. Ant suggestions for mods?

    Turbo vs Non.

    Hey guys, I got a 2001 Protege with the 2.0 FS-DE and I am looking for mods to do. One big one is Turbo or not. I heard its a pain to put one on, but is it really worth putting one on? I'm looking for about 190- 200 hp. What do you think?
