i remember that turbo pgt you had for a few weeks was decently quick, a well sorted one should be pretty nice.

i do recall traction being an issue though 😛

from a roll my mr2 looked like it was standing still, from a dig to about 1/4 mark we were pretty even but you would have pulled buses @ the top end

To answer a few q’s…  
I have an FMIC (project for an other day)  
I’m running low boost…my stock compression is 9.2:1. The turbo is a Garret T3/T04E which will support up to 500hp. I plan to upgrade the stock ecu in the spring. I don’t really plan to push it a lot. The trannys are the weak link. Like RX3, I plan on becoming a 2 wheeled track whore:P

I’m aware of this. It was easier to say Japanese spec but since you’re making it a point…the bottom end is a a klde and the heads + cams are  
klze.

:thankyou:

Get a junkyard tranny, mazdaspeed revised LSD (weld it), and GTX gears. ull b all set. thats what im doing at least. Are you doing anything with the Intake Manifold? I hear mixed things about using VRIS with boost. I just got my megasquirt up and running a month ago. Night and day difference vs a safc or fmu. Lemme know if u if u need any help when you get around to installing yours.

I still have the video of boots vs 3kgt somewhere on my computer. Turbo probes are beast.
