I would say the first things on your list should be EMS,Fuel Pump,Secondry Injectors and a Fuel Reg.

The next step would usaly be a Big Turbo kit with a FMIC,Profect B etc.

I would recomend getting an Alloy rad too (stock T2 rads blow the end tanks easy when tuned)

sounds pesamistic but first thing to do is to have the engine checked out before doing anything else, £5K of mods including an engine rebuild is much better than £5K of mods then an engine rebuild on top.

if the engine is a known quantity go for it with the bolt ons and save the engine work for when you get bored and want more power again

i did have my engine re-built by rx motors 3times as things were wrong with the engine it came with from japan so they put a diff engine in but it is not runnin 100%thhat for sure.it is a pig to get off the line jus for norml drivin an has low power below 2500rpm after that it is fine so will prob have it checked out before deciding which way to go.
i also need a set of poly bushes as the front suspension rattles wen goin over drains or bumps an i think i need the rubber mounts that go on top of the suspension as they look shot.any ides who do these bits.....

I would say somone like WGT would be able to supply them for you in the UK.

If you are not worried about time scale then i found //www.mazdatrix.com are very good (they hold alot of odd stuff in stock and have a good turn around).

Your lack of low end power doesn\'t sound too good, If its not running 100% in the first place i\'m with MikeLMR, get it Comp tested and running sweet before you go looking for more HP.
