Going Big Turbo...what's necessary...not a question lol

I was thinking about this option however one of my friends had gone BT and blew his engine within a month... Might seem like a noob question, but how far would you be able to go power wise without you know, going zoom zoom boom.

As far as your ability to search will allow you.

Jackson did you go GT or GTX? also did you eventually end up selling your speed?

He went gtx iirc...but that was a while ago, now he's got a bigger custom top mount set up.

Yeah I actually saw that Allan had sold his, other guy had rebuilt the engine them traded it. Saw t on a local CO lot and well took it for a spin and almost thought about trading them for it. Eh guess it's time to get my hands dirty again and keep adding to mine. Thanks again

It was a GTX and I put nearly 30k miles on it as a daily driver in a year. Made 386whp and 400wtq on that setup. Never had a problem except for a boost controller mishap at the drag strip. Almost ate a spark plug but everything was good. That turbo I sold to a friend who is still using it on his MS3 as a daily in conjunction with a TRD supercharger. All together that turbo probably has 50k miles on it by now and it was the first bolt on GTX turbo ever ran on a mazdaspeed. I definitely have to say it was worth the money...

The safety of the block is all in the tune.
