Ok guys, here is the deal. I have been talking to Beau a lot the last few days and we are going to start building a Mental Addiction turbo kit for the mazda3 using my car!!!! We are just starting to gather parts for this, but here is the info on what the kit should include:

t3/t4 50 trim (upgrade option to GT30r)
Stainless steel tubular manifold w/ 4-1 pyramid collector
Turbonetics Evolution external wastegate
3" stainless steel downpipe
black powdercoated charge pipes
large bar & plate FMIC
silicone clamps
braided oil and drain lines

Engine management is still up in the air, but target price without EMS is $3795

Pictures will come as the kit develops

[Jeph]

Well its taken you long enough

[jsahyoun]

[Gambino]

Well its taken you long enough
but now Beau is the light at the end of my tunnel!!!!

/cheesy shit

[Jeph]

LOL, are you going with a T3/T4 or a GT30R?

[Gambino]

t3/t4 for now

[Kansei]

Awesome, good luck with the kit!

[tsunami]

what happened to the other kit you were working on? i am so confused...

[Gambino]

what happened to the other kit you were working on? i am so confused...
A) His kit is not as nice as Beaus will be
B) The owner turned out to be a complete asshole

I dont like to bash people, but this guy is doing everything in his power to be an asshole to me ever since I told him I was no longer using his kit.

[tsunami]

well if you did verbally commit to promoting his kit then back out for no reason i couldn't imagine why... lol...

do whatever is right for you man, as long as you are happy with your decision who gives a rats ass...

[Antoine]

(cool) Congrats tphskab! Very exciting news and MAM makes some seriously mean performance parts...Keep us updated WITH (pics)!!!

Any estimates on HP?

[Gambino]

yeah, MAM is the best so I am so excited! As for power, you would have to ask Beau, I dont even know what psi he plans on running me at

[Gambino]

well if you did verbally commit to promoting his kit then back out for no reason i couldn't imagine why... lol...
Yeah, I would understand that, but I never verbally committed, necessarily. He offered me at cost because I helped him promote the kit on forums and such. I thanked him and told him I would save for it, that was about the extent of it. Anyway, I am way happier working with Beau

[k-lea]

he owns you.

[Jeph]

Lol

[illusis]

if this kit works out well for you i will deff be looking to buy one. i have wanted a turbo kit since b4 i owned my car and would love to have a street safe turbo kit. i would deff look into buying it if tphskab likes his and it works well for him. good luck on everything guys!

[Gambino]

thanks illusis! And from the sounds of it you will be looking to buy one, cuz its MAM, so of course it will work out well!

[rednecks_r_us]

Thats cool that Beau will be building a kit for the 3. Congrats on the new partnership with MAM.
