Interesting Turboed N/A on ebay
Just came across this. If anyone knows any more about this car or the kit used on it including pics id be very interested. Im assuming it ran a standalone because its missing the engine harness right now.

That's the VERY VERY old kit made by Cartech, obviously not available anymore, and pretty damned hard to find. What more do you want to know about it? I've got most of the parts of that kit sitting in my garage at home!

During the early years of the 2nd gen. They didn't sell to many since Mazda was already making a turbo version. Intercooler was actually optional. Two versions were produced, one without intercooler and one with. Cartech claimed the non-intercooled version made 230 HP to the wheels, and the intercooled version slightly higher.

You know about a year ago I had the chance to buy a GTUs with this kit on it. The guy wanted a $1000 for it and I said sure I'll take it! This was on a weekend....the bank wasnt open......Long story short I didnt get the car, he sold it to somebody else. Damnit. Also the engine had been rebuilt less than 500 miles before.

Seller genuinemazdaparts sells them BRAND NEW every other week or so.
Auction starts at $9.95.
You will need the fuse holder bracket that has the extra stud to secure it like stock though...
