Turbo?

So I admit, I have a problem. My last car was a Mazdaspeed 3 turbo, before that 1992 Mitsu Galant VR4 rally car with 2.0 AWD turbo (350hp), and before that 1989 Chrysler Conquest with 2.6L turbo rear wheel drive with limited slip. Now I have a Mazda Protege, 130hp gutless wonder.
So, needless to say I have a thing for turbos. I recall someone here had theirs turboed, but I couldn't find the thread. Any help, or input about what I may be up against if I care to go this direction?
I'm thinking a ball bearing T25 would work out nicely at about 6-8 lbs of boost :smile:
 
Perfect, its not only in a yellow bugeye like mine, but he's only about 80 miles away!

Quick swap under the cover of darkness and it will take him a few days to notice. :wink:
 
Expect a lot of additional heat under the bonnet!
 
Ya, the cast iron exhaust housings get cookin pretty good! There is already a hole cut in the hood of my extra bonnet for an intake. Maybe I'll make a scoop to cool things down :smile:
