Turbo advice please
So ive got the greddy kit in my car and the turbos about to go, and i had my heart set on the mazda maniac upgrade but after hearing all the bad things about him i decided not to go that route. I was never realy happy with the power from the kit. I just want some advice on what i should do? Completly new kit like esmeril or something? Thanks in advance.

My car dynoed 275 i forgot the torque. Im pretty sure we got everything we could from that little turbo. Is there anybody else besides mazdamaniac that builds the upgrades?

send it to BNR for rebuild/upgrade. otherwise you're gonna be dropping a LOAD of cash with a whole new setup. there just arent a lot of options to replace that turbo with the greddy manifold space restrictions, you'd be replacing everything.
If replacing everything and spending that much cash is acceptable, I'd hit up SpeedForceRacing and talk to them about their kit. They may work with you - ie, let you choose the turbo you want, piping specifics, wastegate/bov stuff, and if i remember you are using the Interceptor? If so cool, Everyone here will reccomend upgrading to the AccessPort - SFR should be willing to discuss the possibility of adapting their kit to allow for draw through MAF setup to support AP tuning...

I'd like to inquire about your turbo upgrade.
what kind of budget are you working with?

Definetly contact Brian@BNR:

Turn around will still probably be a couple of weeks, but the guy knows his stuff and has taken good care of many forums members, including myself.

I'm probably going to get **** about this but :
If going the BNR route - I would suggest the 49lb/min upgrade and not the 60-1 .
It just seems that people with the 60-1 are not getting the whp they should with that turbo . I did hear of a guy (not on the forums) that made 332whp . Till someone proves otherwise I think the turbine might be a limitation with that upgrade .

if you have a petience, buy MazdaManiac turbo...use your greddy turbo until it needs to rebuild...while waiting, you start ordering the turbo from MM...
lack of communication is not pointing bad things about the person, but just the service. other than that, the turbo is good, what i heard and a lot of people here have them.
if you dont' have a patience, upgrade them from BNR or RaceRotor...they both are preety good...talk to them, you will get some advice.
