protege turbo kit from mazda

first off im a parts guy at a mazda dealer for the past couple of years in IL. i just recently found this site and while i dont currently own a protege i will probably in the near future. anyways back to the point of this post and i dont know maybe you guys already know about it. mazda has a site up now for the dealers to access the accessory parts lists for all the current models. i was sifting through it today due to boredom and under the protege they have a accessory turbo kit listed. while it does have a part number it does not price out or give any specifics. i can only assume it will be a kit consisting of what the mazdaspeed protege will have and will probably become available in the next few months when the mazdaspeed car comes out. i will keep everyone posted on details, if any, (mazda is kinda slow on them) as they come available.

Cool, thanks.

I'd like to know if you can see any other parts from the forthcoming Mazdaspeed like the limited slip, etc.

i will keep my eyes peeled and let ya know what comes about. from what are reps tell us and what i am seeing mazda is trying to step a little from ford and go back to the old days of making power with their own motors and of course the good old rotary. like i said it may take a couple months but it is definitely coming. its definitely time for me to get myself a mazda.

That is of course unless that said civic has a GSR swap and that said civic is a EG hatch then at 5 psi you will still get your *** handed to you. I know from experience. Its not too bad but its still bad. THe EG hatch with a GSR swap will run low 13's in the 1/4 while I on 5 PSI run a 15.1
