Mazda with "Got Boost" stickers, learned the hard way. A few weeks ago, I was coming back into town from some sprinted driving, once I got into town I get rolled up with what appears to be the equivalent of a wanna - be P-Ditty crew next to me and through town the make it apparent that they "had boost" based on the stickers and revving to where you could hear the BOV on the car.. So, I just let them play around and just after I took this picture we had the chance to roll onto the interstate..
Once we got on the interstate, one WOT blast through 3rd gear (60-100) they unfortunately found out the hard way that I had "boost". It was not a race, it was like the equivalent of a beating of a screen door in a hurricane.. It was bus-lengths, if not foot ball fields in just 40 mph of acceleration.
Although this was a weak kill, I will take it especially since they sport around the "got boost stickers" and they found someone who's "got boost".

But if they were trying to get buck first...**** it, fair game.

"2002 GTP - Yeah it's supercharged AND turbocharged i don't know how it works but it does haha"\
89tang you serious about that supercharger and turbocharger? Like a big hp diesel? Always wonder if someone had gone that route before on a gas engine street car. I can't imagine any single bit of your drivetrain is happy about that though!
Whats it make? 1/4? How many trans a year do you go through? lol

Yup i'm serious lol. See i made a home built turbo kit for it and took the S/C off but it was lagging on the lowend cause i didn't do my crossover pipe quite right so i put the S/C back on it just to see what would happen first time i hit the gas it was an instant 25psi of boost lol it took off like a rocket. I turned it down to about 16psi now for fear of blowing something up. Which is the main reason i never took it to the dyno or even to the track because the transmission is does not like it one bit, i'm pretty sure i'm running on borrowed time with it lol. The poor motor and tranny has been through methanol injection, nitrous, and now this.
It's a good conversation starter that's for sure lol

from what ive heard, could be wrong, but the blower becomes a restriction on a "twincharged" engine and you are better off with a good flowing intake manifold. basically, how much mroe can you compress the already compressed air? but ive never done any actual research into it, o i could very well be mistaken. i know theres a hellion twin turbo kit for the terminators that retains the heaton.
Also there is a small butterfly before the rotors to recirculate air from the S/C when the car is idling or cruising. You can have that butterfly open all the time so the turbo forces air through that also.

Me thoughts exactly. Sometimes I'll antagonize people with zero intentions of even running my car just to see a nice car prove itself. You might rev a little bit or punch it a couple times, then as soon as they lay into it you just go back to casual driving and admire the bad *** nature of the particular car as it tears away.

Thats a nice MS6, i think they look like SEX in white, but really not much can be done to them to make them compete with a vette.
Great year rounds DDs tho, awd, quick, fun to drive, and great interior.
