Default protege?

Anyone else here drive a protege? I have a 1998 protege LX with the smaller 1.5L engine (the 1.8 is the other engine they used)

Everyone over on clubprotege.com says the 1.5 sucks with it's 92 hp stock... BUT i'm going to be one of the few people to turbo it... with around 8psi it should be a nice little sleeper i think...

anyone else here have a protege that they ride around in?

How many HP for the 1.8? I'm thinking that with 8 PSI on the 1.5 you'll probably be barely more than the 1.8L...

i could argue that drifting is a waste of a car, but why bother, people do what they like to do, don't hate...

no, im not "HATEING" spending thousands of dollars to make a 90 hp car into a 140hp is a waste. I think that it is more likely that this is your first car and boosting it is some sort of pipe-dreams. or its your moms car...

look, kid. i said you are wasteing your money, and that your beast bet would be to sell the car, and start with something that has pontental.
THIS IS REALLITY
1. your car has little or no potental
2. it has little or no aftermarket support
3. you have NO exprerence in building cars
4.
