I went for Nexen P6000's and i cant fault them there is a slight stretch on them to get them tucked in the front arches! Ah SRI it is then... There is a restrictor in the original manifold which was left there, other than that its straight through and will pass emissions...but ive got a smokey turbo...can this go back to Mazda for that?

Howdy Jay. I tried working out whereabouts you are from those photos, but had no idea until I saw the road sign. You up in Glyncorrwg?
Welcome, I'm a noob myself and looking to get a Mk2 within the next week or 2.

I know there are a few MPS's around my way at the minute! Ah ok, is that last one in Port Talbot? I swear that's the car park in the background by station road. The one I'm gonna try and get is from HG Bryer in Carmarthen and its white, 59 plate. All depends if I can get them down to the price I want though, but I've budgeted for 15k + my 55 plate Corsa in part ex which I think is pretty fair. What ones have you seen, Mark 1s or 2s? I've only come across 1 mark 2 out in the wild so far. Hopefully if I can get them to drop, I'll be in a nice new car by next week

Is it still under warranty? If so you should get a new turbo, just depends and how the dealership deals with mods, some are fine with it, some are not. I know you from ZSOC.
