Shop around for a Masdaspeed Protege. Most likely cheaper than and mp3+turbo kit, and all the work is already done.

Because they are the most problematic Protege ever created? The core components (manifold, turbo) are fine (hence they are the ones I'm using on my Protege5) but the intercooler, ECU, etc are just horseshit

I don't hate the MSP.. I'd love a spicy orange my car is getting high mileage, it's about time to find a mint crazy low mileage msp haha
