I have a mazda3 s sedan and need a couple of opinions on boosting 2.3mzr engine,I have read a couple of threads on the mazda3 forums Juan's hiboost turbo kit looks great and haven't had problems.Will boosting the 3 be really worth it or should I just get another car?

That depends. What kind of other car would you be interested in? How much would it cost to buy it?
If you get Juan's kit you'll have a really nice, fast car that already handled well right out of the box? Does that mean anything to you or are you happy wtih straightline speed?
Look at it this way, if you can do the work yourself: +/-18-20k for your car plus 4k or so gets you this.
What can you get that would be faster/better handling for under 25k?

Do any of you guy's know if there is tapping of the oil pan in the hiboost kit since the Hass turbo kit does not need to be tapped?

And will the installing of the oil lines be complicated if there is the need for tapping? and can someone explain to me about the oil pickup how does that connect to the tubo? thank's
