Oh ok, I'll make sure I keep an ear out for any strange clunking sounds when I'm in the market for one. Any plans to mod in the future?

Man that sucks, at least its being covered by Mazda. How many miles were on te car when it happened? Any mods? Sorry to pry but I'm thinking of getting a speed6 in the next few months, trying to find out as much as I can about them and everything that can go wrong.

Whoa whoa easy killas :)

Oh ok, I know exactly what you are talking about but I have no idea what it does lol.

Anywhere between 18 and 22 is fine. They might have T'ed the vacuum hose in somewhere else because if it was just an open hose unconnected you would have a terrible idle and throw a CEL.

Do want! Can we get a group buy discount?

Race gas runs at cooler temps and has other anti-knock properties which allow you to safely turn up the boost without detonation (with supporting mods). I'm pretty sure you would have to tune at that point. But in our case with a boosted protege (stock block) the rods will break with too much...

That is sweet but it'll be pricey for sure. They are probably going to be able to tune a/f ratios sooner or later like the Cobb tuners.

You might just want to get a 3" to 2.5" reducer for the intake to keep the MAF happy, other than that I'm not sure what you can use that wouldn't throw a CEL. The stock diameter is 2.5" I believe and if you go bigger than that the MAF goes crazy (N/A or turbo).

Was it just me or was your check engine light blinking?

Also a good set of cams with those mods jamesk mentioned will really open up the top end with the ssafc. The JDM intake cam from corksport.com is a good choice, very noticeable pull after about 3.5K.

Hmmmm, that's weird. I don't think a leak that small would effect it enough to throw a CEL but it might be enough to cause a rough idle. At idle I guess it expects X amount of fuel and just a few drops of lost fuel can make a difference. As a temporary fix you could try to continue to make the...

Nice. Keep us posted man. Hopefully I'll be able to start my turbo build by next month. I already have I/H/E and the OBX crank pulley but I need more power :) I want to squeeze every hp I can out of this 2.0L motor.

Yea it could've been the blue thing causing it to impede the flow and run lean. Btw that gasoline spraying sounds dangerous lol. So what's the next mod?
