Not a Mazda 3 guy, used to be Mazdaspeed Protege guy until I sold it recently but I think I might be able to help you here. For one, what you're telling me sounds like an mechanical problem and not an electrical problem although the best way to know for sure is 1) check and see if there are any...
I have mounting hardware including gaskets for a GT2860R or RS that is meant to fit a Mazdaspeed Protege. I was just cleaning out my closet and found these and I'd like for them to go to a good home instead of in the trash. :)

Last call guys, I'm planning on moving really soon so whatever is left in the end of the week goes in the trash. Anything that's not marked "sold" is still available.

Everything still available.
Also, I don't really check this forum anymore so if anybody is interested in getting something, just send me an email at gowthumsekar@yahoo.com

I still have a few performance and stock parts for the MSP and I would like these gone pretty soon. All prices are OBO and include shipping unless otherwise specified. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or need any extra pics.
Performance Parts:
1) Manual Boost Controller...
Do you by chance have an aftermarket SMIC hot pipe that will fit the stock SMIC? If yes, I'd be interested in taking that off your hands so send me a PM
Edit: Nvm man, just realized you were parting out a Protege5 and not an MSP.
