I finally blew the motor after 4 years of running 14 psi daily. Oh, and I caught it on fire the other day.
What have you done to your MSP today?

no sensors, I don't remember everything that you need to take off cause I'm dont more than just the fmic. Bumper, plastic fender liner (just move out of the way). That may be it really

Sorry for your loss, but 4 years is great I would hope (ugh). How many miles was she when you tuned her at 14 psi and how many did she have whe you blew the motor? Getting my car dyno'd/tuned today and just curious.

If its not tuned its not so great.... Im running 9psi and I cant drive my car hard unless its 75+ outside... fuel cut is a b****.

Every morning its always way below 75 and i cant even get anywhere near 6psi without hitting fuel cut like crazy....

lol you really just need to buy a ssafc, and then no more problems, wouldn't want to drive that much anyways without one after mods and I wouldn't even up the boost without the ssafc, IMO

The sad part is that im running the ATP WGA thats rated for 6/7psi... im boosting 9 and creeps to 10 at times with boost leaks. lol The leaks will be fixed this weekend hopefully... stupid exhaust leak.
I want to go full stand alone but funds do not permit it at this time. I see no point in going SSAFC when ill more then likely want to upgrade to stadn alone later.

66k on the odometer is when I turned up the boost. 118k is when she blew.

Thats what im afraid of but then again I haven't upped the boost, well not with a MBC/EBC/bleeder valve or anything like that... I'm using the stock ATP WGA none adjustable wga from pg.

ohhh, ok ya, I didn't know you had leaking and other problems like that, I thought it was kinda strange that you were hitting fuel cut when it is that warm out, but I figured, who knows with the msp, but ya that explains a lot.. never mind then, in that case I just would stay as much out of boost as possible until it's fixed, fuel cut sucks and it just seems like it's killing the engine, makes me nervous when it use to happen

Correct! Not to mention 2 seasons of AutoX, numerous rips down the drag strip as well.

My boost leak issues really just surfaced up within the past week but its bad enough to not go away once the car warms up. I do agree that fuel cut just seams like its going to tear crap up.

Where is the expansion valve for our AC system located?
I had an eventful weekend. New turbo setup is up and running on my car!
