The Story
Your local broke weeb car.
If ""every masterpiece has its cheap copy"" were a vehicle.
Mazdaspeed3 without the hatchback, or the speed for that matter.
2.5L inline 4-cylinder engine. Originally naturally-aspirated, now turbocharged with a GT2871R.
5-9 psi targeted with the use of a manual boost controller. Creeps to 12+ psi if driven irresponsibly.
Not dyno-tested, since there isn't a set horsepower goal. What matters more here is smiles per gallon; specifically up and down the freeway.
Shoutout to the 2017 Civic Type-R; the car I could never afford, and the car that was responsible for sparking the multi-year long quest to turbocharge my own daily, in my own garage. Lots of other upgrades were put in along the way, and the journey has taught me a lot of valuable lessons.
