high performance upgrades
Dude, dont listen to these guys, your engine is from what I understand
the 1.6 DOHC. Try to get any engine from a Mazda Protege LX 1.8 DOHC and the ECM of a Mazda Miata 1.8 and you are golden. After that buy the 1.8 2003 Miata pistons and also the performance camshafts of Mazdaspeed. You will need the cam gears to make adjustments, that is esy just go to EBAY and buyem for 180 including shipping. Also, open the exhaust to 2.0 and get a header. But if you are thinking goin supercharge just drive a Golf cart and thats how your car will sound. YES, it will sound like an electric motor golf car. If me, go TURBO with the bigger displacement 1.8L DOHC block. The 1.6 is useless. ANy questions |

A turbo is quiet, just goes "whoosh". I guess nice if you are into whoosh. Leon > The 1.6 is useless.

Don't know about quiet, since all I can hear is the air intake sound (hiss)
coming from the high flow intake filter. You can also get an occasional "turkey gobble" from the BOV.
