Esmeril Turbo

Hey 8 lovers. I've been reading this fourm for some time now and I find it very informative. You all seem like great people . I own a 05 velocity red mannual trans. Warrenties are expiring soon and like all of you, I grave more speed and torque. I'll just get to the point.
How many of you have actually purchased this Esmeril kit besides "Importshowoff84"?. Is this kit still available? I have tried to contact Esmeril racing with no success. I have also tried "Mazdaparts" with no responce . I plan on perchasing this kit along with the ignition upgrade but now I'm a little leary. Anyone who is running this setup or just the turbo PLEASE respond to this post with as much feedback as you can. If any of you have been in contact with Cris from Esmeril let me know. One more thing, can the cluch (which seems like a weak link) handle this sort off power over extended periods of time?

The transmission is more likely to die on you than the clutch.

he has just had a change in what he wants... different turbo kits have different inherent properties.

Hello,

We are available to answer all your questions. I don't remember receiving any emails from you with questions so I will check out our email system to make sure it is working properly. You can also call at the number on our website. There are more than a few people on this forum that have purchased the kit. some have installed it already and others are in the works.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks,

Chris
