Hey guys i been on here for a while but never posted anything but i always read what you guys have been talking about... If you read my car info you can see what i am talking about, I was wondering is there anything else i can do that can increase the power that i am getting now... Any Ideas would be very appreciated....
what have you done so far? From your other post I saw sounds like intake, exhaust, and wheels. Am I missing anything? It really depends on what your goal is overall, little more fun for daily driving, autox, drag, drift et cetera. But if I am not missing any mods you could go with lightend pullies, hi flow cat/racing pipe, headers. Check out companies who offer flashes, like racing beat for example. There are some other mods just can't think, but other than that FI is the only way to get substatial gains. I dunno.

why do you want more power? just lose all that added weight.

i was being dead serious, if you already have the GReddy look into MazdaManiacs upgrade kit for it.

i'm not sure if i've seen any dyno charts that show 280 whp at 7 psi on the greddy. Usually it's a bit higher to get that number.
At any rate, the greddy kit isn't really the route to go if you want engine bay bling. You should look into the mazsport type 2 and type 3 turbo kits if you want stuff in the bay to show off, as well as bigger power numbers.
like it or not, the truth is an exhaust manifold mounted turbo hides well and no one can see a damn thing.

if you want the bling ... you might want to power coat all some of the stuff.
Like mysql saids .. Mazsport turbo is the way to go, if u want to *show off*
