Seriously chap, if you actually have "no idea" then you really should do some research into the subject, it really is more difficult that just sticking a turbo on the car and driving away, there are many Mazda sites across the internet, This one, Mazdas247, Club323F to name a few that you can have a look at to see what needs to be done.

Hey there, always see you driving around Penrith... Was wondering if you were a member on here.
If you are looking at doing a turbo conversion I would suggest jumping onto mazdas247.com there is a sticky thread about everything you need to know about turbo conversion. I would post up the link but am at work ATM

if your going to order from the US i would check out CR3 Motorsports i recently placed an order with them and bought everything i wanted because of the deals i got. I spent the same amount of money i would have from PG but i ended up with a few extra parts i figured i would have to buy at a later date.
they have a few threads on 24/7 with the list of parts, but i managed to order things from him i did not think he had. |

Before ordering off Protege Garage read up on how un happy people are dealing with them.
In the US forums tehy are a sponsor so all bad feedback is deleted so no one can see how bad they are. Everyone I have spoken to in Australia that has delt Protege Garage with has been very unhappy! |

there are 2nd hand factory turbo kits for sale on the US forum right now... but there's many things you need to upgrade... such as cooling system, drivetrain, and engine management.... the factory turbo ECU from the US won't plug into the aussie cars unless you completely rewire the car
turboing maybe cheaper power than going NA, but don't kid yourself... it's still bloody expensive to go fast... for a proper setup prepare to sink at least $3000 into the project if you're really dedicated and committed to your car, then go for it... it's the sad truth that it's cheaper to make these cars go fast in the US compared to oz

Yep,... He's pretty crap. I would never buy off him again. it took me over two months and 20 emails to get what I ordered and his customer service skills are the equivalent of a blind mute.

I have only ever heard horror stories about PG.
I know people only complain about companies and never say good things as its human nature, but with PG I have never heard of a happy customer. Strange. |
