    That was my initial thought too until you think about the parts :


    Well a used 99/00 motor will cost $1000-1500 on ebay(that is what the Mazdaspeed has)

    A cheap turbo system is $2000

    Intercooler setup - $700 - 1000

    Plus you get a 6speed trans, flywheel, clutch and pressure plate, and uncut wiring harness. throw in the ECU, and your done.

    Chris, why don't you pick this one up? Selling the 11:1 motor, the junk yard 99 motor, the worked head, the 6 speed, and the BRP turbo would pay for it, and get you the money you invested in the 11:1, junkyard, and short block back. All this while giving you a turbo AND OEM.
