We\'ll have to wait and see when it comes out if the parts are interchangeable. There\'s still an issue regarding which engine will be used.

umm, you would need a ECU controller/tuning that was not available when the miata/protege turbos were designed. you can either 1) get the hiboost turbo 2) wait for mazda3 mazdaspeed and see if they use the 2.3 - you *MIGHT* be lucky enough to get that slapped on but don\'t count on it..

your auto tranny may not hold with a turbo installed though..
