The Initial Build from 2003:

Here is my Mazda MP5T. I bought it new in August 2002 with the intension to void every warranty on it. Edwards Mazda in Pembroke would not give me a discount for not getting a warranty, However Jack at Parts has been a driving force in solving my problems and getting the parts that I needed or Forgot till the last second. He is a great person and a wonderful problem solver for me.

I started to research turbo systems Late in 2001 after James told me to read Maximum Boost - By Corkey Bell . I must have read the book cover to cover over 8 times. I started to look much harder after my friend James turbo charged his Jetta (fromshotovdub). I worked out the required A/R ratio for my turbo and ordered it from the turbo mechanic that did James Jetta ("Roch" 613-673-4501), outside of Ottawa. That was the first part purchased. A Garrett GT-28s Disco Potato. On 2.0L motor it is a Perfect match.

Major work began in March 2003 starting with finding a mechanic/welder who would build the turbo manifold that would become the heart of the system. I wanted something completely unique. Where I wanted the turbo to sit would require a completely custom manifold and downpipe. The manifold came to us as a bundle of 304 stainless steel tubes that had been sent to Toronto to be bent. I wanted the best flow as possible so each bend is a mandrel bend.

The collector and manifold was manufactured from scratch by Steve Block who owns TD Products in Beachburg Ontario. (613)-582-3867, He is an artist with a TIG or MIG.

The extension is for a 35mm Tial wastegate which sits inverted facing the right fender. The wastegate opens directly into atmosphere and is really good at making allot of noise. It has a short open pipe that directs the exhaust directly to the road and opens only 2" from the road. You should hear it!

I can say nothing but good about Steve. From start to finish, his work was second to none, often putting up with me working in his shop until he finally had to go home for dinner.

I got the Manifold Back after getting the EGT Probe welded in the collector. The Header wrap was ordered in Black this time and the Proper Stainless Steel DEI Straps came in 03 March 2005. Here are some Pictures of the Manifold.
