    3rd Gen Protege Turbo Kits... Why so much!?

    HiBoost, Spool Turbos, Flyin' Miata... All over $3000!!! Why are these kits not in the affordable range? A GReddy turbo kit for a Honda Civic runs as low as $1000. A turbo kit for a '04 cavalier runs down to $1500. But $3500+ for our Proteges. WTF

    supply and demand my brother, hondas are a dime a dozen, everything is cheap for them, we have limited aftermarket, so therefore everything is an arm and a leg.

              Check out Wangner Motorsports Andy has kits as low a $2500.00 or he'll sale the exhaust header to match whatever turbo you have along with the minum piping to get you started and you can build your own kit as I did. My first set up cost my only about $1200 and gave me a 60% increase in power.
              Good Luck,
