Edit:

I hear nothing but good things about Spool-Turbo.My only problem with going to spool's open house is that i am in the military and i am also in florida, cant exactly get up and leave. But i am getting ready to call perfwerks to find out about the setup for a stage II or possibly a stage III.. My real concern is that I have the semi-auto trans. Maybe that will help or hurt you guys with info....need to get perf to comment or call to give me some ideas....looking to be the first 20lb p5 in florida. WHASSUP

check out Flyin' Protege - a very clean, very strong and very tested turbo kit with all the goods sans fuel management.
First things first: What's up with your Avatar's left boob? Is it riding on Ground Controls?
Dood...
If I had 6000 bucks to spend on my P5, I'd probably take it down to the dealer and trade it in for an MSP. This way you'll get the turbo, LSD, nice stereo, a ton of interior goodies(pedals, shifter,etc) and the exclusivity of the MSP.
I'll bet that if you showed up at the dealer with your car and 6 grand, they'd send you home in a brand new MSP.

Wow, 20 lbs on an auto??? - Search through the threads and you will see that mine is the first "sport-mode" auto ( Mazda's official name ) which will be pushing 8 lbs of boost.
I would recommend you look at a Quaiffe LSD, forged internals, and the Level Ten Torque Converter. Have you considered how much horsepower you are looking for? $6000 is a decent amount of money, hell, it will even leave you with some left over on a stage 2 install. But to push 20 lbs of boost, you are going to need to do alot more than just purchase a few things.
To the best of my knowledge, Nicks will be the only kits that ship complete. This includes, all hoses, fittings, clamps, etc.
Take a look at these threads to get an idea of what is available from Perf.

On a side note, - what do you mean you can't just get up and leave? Doesn't the armed forces give time off? I can't imagine not being able to take a vacation with a weeks notice. I guess it's good if you are into it though. Me, I'd rather work my 8-5 M-F and enjoy my freedom; but I must say that I am glad there are some who are willing to sacrifice their own freedom to ensure the rest of ours.
Now before the flames start, I have friends who are in the USAF, and ARMY, and even Coast Guard and INS; I respect what they have chosen to do.... it's just not for me. They have great retirement options and educational options, and while their pay isn't the greatest, it's not all bad either. Most of them are making $36k-$40k. They will be able to retire by the time they are 35. Sacrifice now, or sacrifice later I guess.

Hey,are you at Eglin, If so, my stuff should be in soon if you want to check it out.
Wow, 20lbs on an auto, you got a lotta work ahead of ya. I will be probally pushing 16 lbs depending on the dyno results of the Microtech. With some internal mods, I will push to 20lbs.
Edit: I just saw that your email is Hurlburt Feild, I am over on Eglin. What color is your car.
Ok- Another Edit, I take it since it says RED-ONE, your car is red. I never said I was the brightest.

.....or buy an S13 for $1500, an S13 SR20DET Black Top for another $3000, and another $1500 on bolt ons and electronics and boom, you have a car that will be faster than putting $6K in to an auto P5.

All our systems come with Stand alone FUEL management system.
Just fuel, not ignition. We run it parallel to the stock ECU, but the fuel is managed only by the Haltech. The stock ECU has no effect on the air/fuel mixture.
We are working on an upgrade with the E6k which will be a Stand alone ENGINE management system with fuel and ignition control.
So far we are happy with the setup being able to deliver 214 whp safely.
