so i want a turbo for my 01 mazda protege mp3. good idea?
i'm not rich so i went to ebay and searched turbo kit mazda protege
there are some coming up from a guy names jlovetdrifting or something like that and they are for about $700, is that a good price? and how much do you think it would be to have installed (rough estimate will do)

please answer any of these questions
 
stay away from ebays so called "kits". these kits are just parts thrown together to make a kit, they are not designed or researched to match your car. not only that but they use inferior materials and components, and most of the turbos, wastegates, manifolds, and bov usually end up failing after weeks if that. not only that but you never get a complete kit, usually end up missing key components. so look at spending 700 for the kit, an additional 500-1000 in parts you didnt get, and aditional 500 in fab work cuz it doesnt fit.

get a kit from a well know manufacturer like greddy, hks, turbonetics, peak-boost and so on. these kits are vehicle specific and researched for proper fitment, functionallity, and reliability. spend the extra money and youll be happier and safer
