Long time since last posted here just wanted to share my turbo build in progress
So far I got:

OBX turbo Manifold

t3/t4 .50trim

Turbo smart wastegate

SSQV BOV

fuel pressure regulator

Intercooler

piping and hoses

Mega squirt 2 ECU

Walbro 255lph fuel pump

 

Dude that looks pretty sick. Can you post a pic of your car?

will this setup work on my zl-ve?

 

I sure hope you built the internals first. Protege engines are not known for long life once boosted.
It looks cool though. Wish I had the money to do my 3. I'd settle for another 40-50 hp.

 

I believe the pattern for the bolts for the turbo manifold changes but I am not sure, if that's the case nothing some machining can take care off

 

what will this set up cost me? and what where the hp gains made from it? i want to boost my protege but only if its worth it. i have the 1.5 zlve it makes about 128 hp stock so if i can squeeze out about 190- 200hp with this setup i will go this way instead of swapping out the motor. in the process now of having an intake manifold done for it using the itb's from a toyota 20 valve engine.
