Default turbos or superchargers...???

Does anyone know ,..who makes a supercharger or turbo for the Mazda 3? And is it a good company,..and have you heard any reviews on the systems? I am really suprised that the mazda 3 doesn't get more attention from GReddy, and HKS etc...

There are actually a couple of kits already available for the Mazda3. I don't know anything about the companies, but I do know that a couple of the guys had boost creep issues and went BANG!. Doesn't mean they didn't make power though. www.mazda3forums.com (forced induction section)

I think i'll wait for the turbonetics one then,..they seem to be more of a reputable co...hopefully with their kits,..my engine won't go bang,..cuase that would be bad.

yeah i would not start on turbo first, do what me and my buddy with his accord are doing, build up the egine first and then go for turbo going in the opposite direction will lead to many problems.

On the 3, i would not do a turbo, I would go with the CAI and exhaust. Once you get into turbo's, its a whole new level of monetary investment. if you go past a stage1 turbo, you need to do upgrades to the engine and tranny, I would wait until my car is out of warranty before I mess with that.
