Hello there, Does anybody in the forums ever turboed a 1.8 protege? Im ready to turbo my 99 protege 1.8 but im having issues on what to use for tunning it. Now the most i wanna run right now is 10 psi im not looking to make lots of power. if anybody out there can share their experience with me that be great thanks.

10 psi is kind of high. Can your block take it? I am sure you will need a standalone ecu like a megasquirt or haltech

friend said i should be okay with 10 psi...and yeah im thinking of going megasquirt...but which one should be the best to work with? the do it yourself, the pre assembled one or the plug and play..

10PSI will be fine on a 1.8 as the rods are a little stronger

The problem is the F Series box is weaker then a G series so be really careful there. Using a microtech or haltech will net you some great results on a 1.8 as they can rev alot higher then a FS.
