the hiboost kit is great for what it is it adds over a 100hp on the protege's, if you want to make even more power than yes you will need some fuel mods , BTW i sell the kit for $4k INSTALLED that is pretty cheap for a turbo kit a haltech and the install-

I do have a question. Will the intercooler fit behind the stock LX frontend or do you also have to change that out?

it will fit but it might take a little trimming of the grill (lower one)

the new 5-spd 3S's dyno about 142whp. Remember Juan's 2.3L kit is not finalized or even fully tuned yet. Once he selects the final turbo and spends the day tuning it I'm sure you'll see 250whp which is more than Evo8 or STi make in comparison.
I'm hooked.

yeah, I hate launching my p5 hard but from a roll I wouldn't be scared to roll up on an Evo or STi.

Have you actually raced an STi? Evos are nothing youre right, but STis put down about 280 to the wheels

Once I get everything back from DaveB I'll have the piping bent. I got a real good deal on it.
p.s. I have not personaly raced an STi but they dont put 280whp....theput down 230-ish...I've seen the dyno's. Also, there is a video fo a guy named CWill running 8psi on a P5 (T3 turbo) he made 171whp and from a roll he pulled the STi 3 times. he also ran a SRT4, TL 6spd, S2K, etc.....from a roll he walked off and left them. I don't make this stuff up...I have no reason to.

Idonthaveamazda,
It sounds like your trying to instigate something! This is a Mazda Forum; we are here because we genuinely like the Mazda cars, in this case the Proteges. Stock, yes they lack a little in the HP’s but in overall quality, handling, and to me the most important thing is COST OF OWNERSHIP, they rock! You can keep you 30,000.00 + cars! The cost of ownership on those or out the roof. Yes they are fast but any one with a wallet can get one. I like to build mine! I love it when one of your cars (meaning SRT, STI, EVO) pull up thinking there all hot and get pulled buy a guy that paid 15k less than him and only sunk 5k in mods! That’s HOT! And if that still isn’t enough for you to get off the I GOT TO MUCH MONEY band wagon and you still think those cars are fast, come on down to Austin. I got a few friends that have a couple of cars that run 8-12s and don’t even have 6k in them. Can you say BOWTIE!!
Yours truly,
BIG GUY IN LITTLE CAR!!!

Sorry about the Threadjack, it's just these guys have a special place in my heart if you know what I mean!
