Turbo 1 of 2 came in yesterday.  I just bought one for now for mock up and because it wasn't cheap!

The turbo is a Borg Warner S200SX-E with a 57mm compressor inducer.  Each turbo should be good for about 650 HP if needed.

Seems to fit nicely in front of the front wheel wells on both sides.

Ooh, good choice (Turbo & Beer). How hard do you plan to push them?

That's a good sized turbo! I've read a bit about these , seem to go well with 13B's also. Anything have to be moved, that's not already relocated?

Until the car scares me, then I'll probably come back for more boost.

I'm planning to start out at 7 pounds of boost, should do about 600 to 700hp there.

I may move the fuse box just to keep heat off of it, but I may just make a heat shield instead.  So far looks pretty straight forward though.

Here is the latest version of the boost gauge.  I think there are some more improvements I can make but this should fit nicely anywhere I want to put it.

Only an FC guy would be so excited to get this in the mail. I got tired of my old surround which was comprised of 50 percent epoxy.

I think you can still get the idiot light cluster from mazda parts depot in Ontario California but I doubt any dealer has one in stock. I was about to order it last mazda motorsports purchase I made but I took it off and forgot... lol
