Would a turbo manifold from the P5 fit an MP3? I'm 99 percent sure it will, but just want to be positive

yeah that's what I've heard too, plus I thought they were a T3 flange (a pretty big turbo for the Protege engine)

Do not buy this JUNK, the wastegate flange will break off from the weight of

the WG. Buy a cast log manifold and save yourself the headache and regret.

a T3 is perfectly fine on this engine. its a great all around turbo that is underrated and underappreciated. heck there are people putting larger GT series turbos and T3/T4 turbos on these engines so the T3 is by no means too large.

i've driven many mazdaspeeds, some with T25s and some with GT28RS, and you couldn't pay me to give up my T3.

Well said Ken. W/E you do, when you go turbo remember about MP3 advanced timing.
