I'm interested, but the timing is not right for me. I want to do the tune within the next year, I have other projects that are more necessary right now for the car.

That being said, I hope something like this becomes available. Next gains in low RPM torque are what excites me, I really miss that about my 4th gen Maxima. peak torque at 2000. With a manual was really fun.
 
I want a turbo 6 !!
 
Matt can we bring this back??
 
Yeah, it's unfortunate, low sales volumes usually dictates limited and pricey aftermarket. Did not someone say there was a turbo kit for $5k out there?
Mat at OV tuned had this put together apparently, I think they still had a little more testing to finish but he sounded close to finishing. Had a youtube video of a cx5 they had turbo'd on the dyno I believe? Either way, I think realistically everyone is skeptical about the OEM parts holding up to the extra wear and tear for the most part so I haven't seen anyone actually go for this.
 
After having built a turbo Miata 2 months ago and then driving a 2016 Fiesta ST... I want the boost.

I might just have to be the first one to plunk down for that turbo. I'm sure our 2.5L's can hit CLOSE to 300hp. That $5k pricetag is sorta hard to swallow, though. BUT that DOES include a tune.. so it might be worth it.
 
Well I just got a response from OVT:

"Thank you for contacting Orangevirus Tuning.
Unfortunately we don't have any plans for any turbo kit at the moment.
If you have any other questions, please let us know."

So there you have it, folks. No turbo kits for us. :(
 
You all see the cam shafts Mat is selling on their FB page? Looks to be for both the 2.0 & the 2.5, intake as well as exhaust. They sell out w/in minutes of him getting in but I see no dyno results showing any actual numbers....
 
From what I've read online, I don't see Mazda releasing any parts for the 6. I remember reading an article about an interview with the CEO where it was said that there were no plans for a MazdaSpeed version of the 6, so that would make me think there are no plans for performance parts either.
 
I read somewhere, can't recall where, but an interview with a Mazda insider that said they were going to release front, rear, and side lip spoilers....a ground effects kit if you will, as they currently have available for the 3, for the 6. I don't think that's gonna happen either at this point. I guess the sales numbers aren't high enough. Do they sell a lot more 3's than 6's?
