(REALLY WHAT I WANT IT TO BE) I WAS GIVEN A 1990 FORD PROBE GT 2.2L TURBO ENGINE AND A MAZDA 1994 TRANNY FROM MY COUSIN WHO HAD BOTH A HIS PROBE BEFORE DECIDING TO DESMANTLE IT. HE WAS IN A TECH SCHOOL LEARNING TO DO BODY WORK, SO HE NEEDED THE PANELS FOR WORK ACCESSORIES. SINCE NO KNOWN TURBO IS AVAILABLE FOR THE 2L CONTOUR, THIS REALLY MY LAST HOPE OF POWER FROM MY BABY BEFORE TRADING IT IN FOR A 4 DOOR INTEGRA. HELP PLEASE . WANT ANY AND ALL OPINIONS, EXPERIENCES, DREAMS, THOUGHTS, HEAR-SAY, ILLUSIONS OR LIES THANKYOU.

Focusparts would probably have similiar issues as the Aerocharger kit... The latter two are not street legal which limits your options.

You'll probably have major issues with fitting it our trannies and getting to fit the engine bay.
