ok My Si got stolen two weeks ago and I am repalcing it in two weeks which puts me into the exact time the Mazdaspeed will be comming out. I am considering the WRX or the mazdaspeed. At first i was only considering the gti, then I drove the WRX.. OMFG the handeling. The main consern I have for the MS is the 6.5psi stock level :wtf:. From what I have read the protege's 2.0 can only take 6psi maybe as much as 8psi. This bothers me that I will have to upgrade my internals to up the boost to the GT25's true potential(500hp capable). Not to meantion that it will void my warranty. I can get the WRX for less than 3k more and spend 1k on a 300hp warrantied mod(4'dp,3'catback,2.5rear section, chip...no engine work at all! ). Not to meantion that it is AWD. The MS has alot going for it but I am worried about the tunability of this car. When I stumbled upon this badass i was like holly s***.. New, clean as all hell, racing hart stockies? 450watts,.... ok ok so I'll add a boost controller and up it to the typical 20psi and larger dp... so I should be at say 350+hp.. but no. 6psi is the max without major work when a stock trubo car has beaffy internals this one does not.. what else did they skip out on? will this car develop denotaion problems. . . etc. because I can handle upping the rods, springs and retainers, but what else will need modding?:mad:
