Mazda Protege turbos. there are plenty models depends on what year you want

They have Earlier model proteges also known as 323's which come with a GTX motor which are turbos, but those are very very rare. Or they have the Newer models like 00 and higher. They have the Mazda Protege MP3 model which they stopped producing but they still have the Mazda Protege Mazdaspeed version. Both come with turbos. I also heard their going to make a Protege5 turbo. Not sure on that though.

I'm pretty sure the mp3 didn't come with a turbocharged motor. That was only the Mazdaspeed Protege.

The MazdaSpeed Protege is just a stock protege with a Greddy turbo kit, suspension, and a little better styling, the internals and head are identical. Look around, I saw one in the Lakeland paper the other day for 14k with less than 30,000 miles on it.
