Just bought a 06 mazda5 for our family (wife) and really like it so far. My only quif is it is underpowered. I am comming from driving a 320 horse power pontiac grand prix gtp. I would like to put a turbo or a supercharger on it. I found them for the 3 and the 6 with the same engines, but nothing for the 5. I did find a semi universal supercharger for import engines, but requires alot of modifications. If anyone knows or has heard of someone doing this let me know.
The other thing was I have seen 5's with 18's but nothing with 20's. I measured and I will be able to get some 20's under there with some 235/30r/20's, that is with a 1 inch drop. I am prepared to cut the fenders and put some fender flares on if the worst happens. I already ordered the rims. I will let everyone know if they work, and send pictures. Anybody do any other modifications to thier 5?? So far I have a flomaster exhaust, a k&n cold air intake, 2 clarion 1000 watt 12" subs, and headlight skins.
Lets make everyone else wish they had a car (not van) as cool as this!!!!
Anyone can e-mail me at levilyoder@yahoo.com

 

What specific turbo for the 3 and 6 have you found (website, part number)? I want to do the same. I miss my turbo. I just bought an '07 Sport model to replace an 00' Saab which I had flyin'.Where did you get the K&N set-up? I have so many useless Saab links, and need to collect the Mazda 5 links!

Thanks.
