boost gauge is not factory, but def keep it as you want to know if your over boosting every, these cars dont handle additional boost well and its a good safety measure to have one!
good luck, car is a POS.. i bought it brand new in 03.5.... car lasted to 48k miles before tranny exploded. Turbo from factory cant even handle the stock 7 psi load. intercooler is baby sized. rear sway bushings constantly squeaking, factory subwoofer went out 2 weeks in. I can go on an on. But hopefully you dont suffer what i had to go through
haha I smell a bullshitter. I owned a 2003.5 and it was the biggest piece of shit car i have ever owned. 250hp my ass... I am so glad i got rid of that american made garbage
Lol Protege 5? i had a mazdaspeed protege 2003.5.. It was turbocharged by the smallest turbo ever made.. And yea that car had a peak boost at like 7 psi. And NO WHERE near 250hp. Do some research and you will see they made a 2003.5 version with a different spoiler and front bumper.
That radio is the most 2000s thing i ever seen
a simple time when everyone made a tuner!
what?
A Time i wish will come back!
My dream car when I was 17.
I had one of those, was a ton of fun to drive!
I love my Protege5.
I had a 2003 Mazda Protege MP3. Yellow. Im so sad I don't have it anymore :(
Gt25 is the smallest turbo garret makes lol 🤣
Better than none.

I just bought one and want to know if the boost gauge was factory and if it would hurt to pull it off?
No boost gauge from factory.
Thanks

sounds like you bought a lemon happens to some of us, but yeah the auto tranny arent the best in the early mazdas
It had a factory LSD differential, can’t believe he failed to mention that
Yea that’s was a huge thing for those cars!!!
stock radio?
Yes
im still looking for a spicy orange one!
i have one and its nice
My buddy has a clean one for sale
Got one haha
Curtis bobbitt Rivera I need one
Curtis bobbitt Rivera how much? Hmu
Why does he look like hes having a stroke after every sentence ?
Tourettes syndrome. Those are motor "tics"
I forgot this car existed. Shit I forgot about the Protégé in general. The Mazda3 overshadowed this.
i have a black one and let me tell you this thing has close to 250hp not the 170hp its advertised
same!

your protege 5 did not have the same set up as the mazdaspeed protege yours was NA so yeah it was a little weak in the horses

Well how much do you weight that could make a big difference in how the car feels 😂
I beat the snot out of 1 of these back in 03, i was pretty shocked by the performance. No sunroof though 😢
radio kinda blew me away. Doesn't look stock
