Talking Okay there buddy.

I have driven it and it drove pretty damn well. Handling was outstanding. But I could really lay it down hard because of break-in period.

I hate to be a wet blanket for you....but keep in mind that there are a few things working aginst us in this arena...

1. the MSP is a limited production vehicle.
2. its the LAST year of the current Generation of Proteges
3. its likely that NEXT year if there is a MAZDASPEED version of the Protege that it will have a different engine.....

Thus....the aftermarket window is VERY small for the car, meaning not a lot of profit involved....

with these things in mind...do NOT expect the aftermarket to jump up and start producing parts for a very limited number of the public....its just not going to happen....as it doesn't represent PROFITS to them.

Intake on the turbo?

Exhaust, I'd be willing to bet any aftermarket exhaust that fits on the 3rd gen sedans will also fit the MSP.

Same goes for most other add-ons.

I dont know of any names but I read in Sport Compact Car that the two upgrades that would be first are a bigger inercooler and a cat back. That should significantly bring you up to speed.

The currently available catbacks are for the n.a. 2.0L engine ...
You would probably want a slightly different system to put on the turbocharged version.

You don't need to do anything with the MSP. It is great as it is .. don't you read any of the magazines?? haha
