well see that is where im confused... msp stock setup.. blew with black smoke pouring out the rear..... was running rich... pig rich..
... another motor was using FCD on it... was at a stable 11.8 ( probably to lean) under 10psi...
.... dot dot dot.... another motor same thing with FCD at 11.2 ( via wideband )
had a bad case of F**k bags vandalizing my car... that motor was stock....
this last motor.. was built at the dealership.. " brand new" lol... ill send u some pics of parts i pulled out.. there was NO WAY it was brand new.. but that is what they said... it blew driving around town
this motor in it now... is pretty much stock.. until i can make a good decisionon what to do.. im thinkin of sellin my turbo stuff... and my system... and saving for a new car... and keepin the p5 slightly modded...
this last motor... idk.. was built at the dealership...
i have been going back and fourth on being forged and tuned.. or not.. i want to... but i want a new car... its a hard decision
You need to get a real engine management system, like MAP ECU or AEM. Maybe one of these:

ok ok ok..... looking.... thinking..... trying to resist the urge to just buy it....
QUESTION... since you obviously know a lot more about this then i do... on AEMS site there is no where stated about a 2 step... however i have seen it when i search for it... do ya think that it comes with one? or the one i have could work in conjunction with that with out causing huge issues?

That's just a piggyback. Good s***, but not full on.

lmao.. called AEM... and asked them about my little 2step question and i ended up telling the tech how a 2 step works, and what it is wired into and how it could possibly effect the ignition maps and tuning...
haltech is lookin like a winner

The only AEM unit that comes with the two-step is their EMS. I'm sure Haltech would work just fine too, just find a shop that knows EXACTLY what they're doing and when you get it tuned, tell them you want it tuned for daily driving so that you get the most MPG out of it. There is no reason why you shouldn't get 25+ MPG.

well im moving towards las vegas.. so im sure there is some where that can do it... and DAMN YOU... you have convinced me to spend time on my mazda again.... ( thanks... lol ) really though.. haltech shouldnt be tohard to install... i guess it is picking a version that works for me.. i would LOVE to get rid of this horid maf... it would make intake routing and what not so much easier...
Big Lou knows a good tuner in vegas, talk to him
