Well, there are alot of turbo combos out there that work great but Iv seen serious hp put to the dirt with a Greddy T-78, Greddy 3 row fmic, street port,and some very good tuning. There are probely cheaper combos that work just as good.

Hope that helps

Before you begin doing any heavy modifying, you need to do relibility mods.

The first mods I did were:
New intake, piping
Intercooler, elbow
Radiator

With those my engine was kept cool and then I could begin any heavy modif..... which I have yet to do.

That is what I was thinking. Make it more reliable than Mazda did (cooling mostly) and then make the power.

If you want to save yourself a bunch of headaches then go ahead and go non-sesquential and get rid of all your solenoids/vacuum hoses/power steering/AC
