Love the KL-in-a-Protege idea! I used to have a 95 Probe GT with a Greddy exhaust on it and the note was positively seductive! Looking forward to completed pics and possible sound/video clips.
Wow i did'nt even know this was going on. Great progress thus far. Glad to see the turbo fits nicely where it is meant to on the probe/mx6 cars too. This will be the next step for my ZE.
My question is why does you sig and first post say ZE? did you get a ZE and then go to a DE manifold for fitment?
Also, addressing your heat issue in your post on my swap thread, have you bought or thought about buying a turbine housing blanket for the turbo? That could help you greatly with the heat.
