    Mental Addiction Motorsports 3rd Gen Protege Turbo kit

    As a few of you are aware we have had a turbo'd P5 for quite sometime.We have not shown pictures and kept it quiet for the majority of the time.

    Background about us.Our main market is Turbo Mustangs and have been playing with turbochargers since 1995.We are geared heavliy into the Mustang market and have decided to pickup the Mazda community after receiving a several emails and phone calls from protege owners.So last year we went out and bought an 03 MP5 and started the R&D for a turbo kit.

    I will tell you this, the car has gone through many changes and we continue to improve the design.

    The pictures I enclose are of a kit in R&D.This is why you will see some pipes powdercoated, different color hose, different style hose clamps,different manufactors of braided line,EGT bungs,etc.We feel it's very important to find any problems or quality issues in the material we choice before the end user does.Once we feel the kit is very dependable and I feel comfortable, the kit will be jethot coated and everything will be cleaned up and put on the market.

    And right now I'm very confortable with it.To date we are making 4.5psi 161whp @ 5200RPMs, 6psi 176whp @ 5200RPMs,6psi 181whp @ 6000RPMs,9psi 209whp at 6000rpm and have over 31,000 miles on boost.


    The kit is going through it's last change(blow-off valve relocation) and we will see where that takes us.If all goes well, we will be looking for 2 more sponsor cars(currently have 2)

    Our complete kit consists of the following(retail $3899):
    GT28R ball bearing Turbo
    Velocity stack's(inlet,outlet)
    Stainless manifold(log type)
    Tial 38mm External Wastegate
    Large FMIC(27x6x2.65) extruded core
    321 Stainless wastegate and down piping.
    BEGI FMU
    Walbro 255 High Pressure In-tank pump
    Voltage clamp
    Bosch style billet aluminum BOV
    Braided feed and drain lines
    T-bolt clamps
    Silicone couplings
    NGK Iridium plugs
    Boost gauge
    Jethot coated hotparts
    Powdercoated Silver cold parts
    AEM wideband gauge/sensor
    MIL Elim.
    Overflow bottle relocation bracket
    heat shield/blanket
    etc



    You will also be offering a starter kit(retail $2999) that consists of:
    GT28R ball bearing turbo
    Velocity stack's(inlet,outlet)
    Stainless manifold(log type)
    Tial 38mm External Wastegate
    Large FMIC(27x6x2.65) extruded core
    321 Stainless wastegate and down piping.
    Voltage clamp
    Bosch style billet aluminum BOV
    Braided feed and drain lines
    T-bolt clamps
    Silicone couplings
    MIL Elim.
    Overflow bottle relocation bracket
    heat shield/blanket
    etc



    Here are some pictures of the kit
    Our kit does not effect ground clearance and allows you to keep all your underbody plastic for a clean stealthy look.



    Piping going from driverside intercooler outlet, to inner fenderwell to the throttle body.


    Overall


    We will be offering a non-intercooled kit in the coming months.
    If you have any questions and comments, please feel free.
    Please keep in mind this kit has not been released and is in its final stages of development.

    Thanks,

                    We are working with a few companies about reinforcing the trannies.But for the time being we are looking for a sponsor car that will run 4-5 psi.

                        well maybe distance is not such an object.
                        Sometimes you can work things out ..

                        look at kdawgone, he is sponerd by cork (I think) and he is nowhere near them.

                            Location is not a factor.If you are interested in being a sponsored car, please PM me and I will give you details.Please keep in mind the kit is sold to the sponsor BELOW cost in return for a few things.
