Protege Garage Turbo Inlet Installed

not yet guys, i'll let you know. as eager as anyone to get these in and out to you all!
 
Guys, I can assure you that this inlet is well worth the wait, such a great piece and a good upgrade to any intake system. I only wish PG had offered the full intake set when I had bought mine... I would have taken one coated in black.
 
lol i messed up when i put my corksport full intake kit on, i put it on with a downpipe, tbe, and alot of other stuff so i cant really say what kinda gains i achieved from just the tip, and intake lol. but for like 210 buck for a full intake with the aem dryflow and perfect fittment its another option besides the pg one. Not saying the pg one isnt awsome but there around the same price and i got mine in 3 days after ordering....
 
I wanted to mention i have picked up a full mile per gallon on average since install and a reset. Sitting at 25.1. that is a nice little bonus. Car is still running nice. At first she was a little jumpy at throttle tip in but seems to have smoothed out power delivery a bit. I suppose the ecu has figured out what happened. It definitely increases the intake and turbo sound volume. I am glad to have it.

what is that small pic in your sig if you dont mind me asking?
 
It has to be a coincidence of timing, but since I put this on the car, I have had an intermittent cel. I finally got it read tonight and it is "Insufficient EGR flow".
My mpg improvement was all in my head, 24.5.

That picture is the Top Speed passenger mount before i reinstalled the coolant reservoir. I took a couple of pics as i went in case anyone else was doing a passenger mount. They would help me to recall the process for a how to. And i really like the paint job on it. Nice sparkly blue. Of course now it is hard to see unless you are looking for it, much like the inlet! By the way i did throw a code about a week or so after reconnecting the battery. I did not bother to check it though because the car was still learning. Again. All better. I did reset the avg. mpg. to see if it changed, i was about 24 for most of this summer. As i mentioned, as per the computer it has moved up to 25.1 as of today. I have been hanging out in the higher rpms too. Oh well. The Mazdaspeed 3 seems quite happy as it is now.

you may want to have this looked at by a dealer. the EGR valve may be stuck or broken, but the inlet really wouldn't affect that as they're independent of the other. should be a warranty issue.
 
i'm shipping them out as soon as they are boxed up and in my hands. i've got a dyno day tomorrow to attend and some personal things going on sunday but i will do what i can.
 
hmm.. for those spark plugs everytime I just so happen to read a post about it people have problems.. and whats KR?
