atkins is completely wrong.
There's a few great turbos out there:
Where do you live?
There's a few great turbos out there:
- Mazsport Turbo
- Pettit Supercharger
- Greddy Turbo (look at Mazdamaniac's thread for an 'upgraded' kit)
- Esmiril Turbo (sp?)
Where do you live?

ah, i was just asking cause for me, unless i move, when i get a turbo kit it would be exposed to those temps. i know that the repeated heating and cooling of metal can eventually wear it out a lot and cause it to crack/ snap.

I have a GReddy turbo kit and I live in Canada where I consistanly get freezing cold weather.
I seem to be getting more boost in the cold without having to touch my boost controller so as long as you can provide it enough fuel you will make more power, safer in the cold weather.
You cant just buy the stock GReddy kit and call it a day. You need alot more supporting mods to make sure everything is safe.
Good luck!

If I was you, keep a eye on the esmeril turbo development, Greddy is a good kit, but I've been reading that there is a lot of extra stuff needed to support this where as, other kits seemed to be more complete.

greddy needs a few things, the cost isn't a lot, but you would need to do some homework. The flaw with greddy is the turbo. Unless you're happy to stay at 6 psi, the turbo isn't so great.
