Ok guys I have $5300 to mess with. I am buying a turbo in colorado for $2000 this weekend, the motor has 87,000 the guy says it runs ok, but seems tired. I was thinkin I'll buy the car, I am going to Order a New motor ported but am nsure of where to get it...I heard Hayes and mazdatrix...if you have hayes sight i would like it please!! The car and motor together is around $5000. I am selling my Duster for $1200, I am going to buy the full RB exhaust/ Fuel cut defenser/ Gauges/ and a boost controller.

How does that setup sound with the money I have, or do I need priority on something else?? Please let me know!! I would like to get all the **** i need ordered so i can just slap it on!!!

Thanks!!

 

Get a compression check before you change out the engine, as it is very uncommon for the seals to wear out at only 87,000. It may just have something else wrong with it that is easier and cheaper to fix, allowing all that dough you have to go to bigger and better things.

The RB exhaust and FCD sound like good mods, but a boost controller usually ends up just getting people in trouble (kinda like a credit card ). You may want to upgrade the fuel system, and I always recommend a K&N air filter (drop-in or cone).

Here's a good site that describes different FC mods:

Oh, and here's the Hayes site:
