Why? What's wrong with it? It's a RWD, TURBO, more horsepower to weight than most roadsters out there, would make an excellent track car whether drifting, road racing, auto-x, and even drag.....and more than that....it'll eat your civic for breakfast. Sure I won't tell anyone....

The thing is that the turbo is running a very low PSI from the factory. you really can't judge a turbo car by it's non turbo and turbo applications. It's all in tuning. The MSP comes from the factory only at 170 whp, only 30 over stock, but with little work, it's easy to free up gobs more power. Mazda didn't release this car with the intention of having huge amounts of power, and customers bringing in their cars for burnt clutches and the like. See this happen with SRT-4's, EVO's, and WRX's all the time. Play it safe, keep boost low, if they turn it up and blow drivetrain parts is their fault. 80% of factory turbo cars are this way.
