Oh OF COURSE I'm not going to boost 12psi on stock internals! I plan on doing all my preventative maintenance before I touch the boost! Fuel management and gauges first of course.
Then...???
When I get my car back I'll post pics (all stock but whatevs) when the production # etc.
So, I DID come to understand that modding the car for relia/drivability is a MUST.
Where do I start?
I read the wastegate is a POS, so change that out.
Get it flashed? I don't plan on boosting this thing...
so what did you mean by numbers?
and any particular brands I should look for?
I saw a couple write ups for new MSP owners on what upgrades to do...
any waste gates in particular i should look for?
IC lines and intake?
etc etc
Good luck charms? HA! This is the first good luck I've had with my cars. The last car I had was 99 civic. at 80k the motor blew. replaced it with a B16A SiR2 and a few months later I get pulled over, hood popped, ticked for a ref station which are all suspended because of the CA state budget...
What's up everyone? I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. I purchased my 2003 MSP 9/20/08. Here's my 1st impression:
WTF?! I'm pissed off man!
Bought the car at 57k miles on Saturday at about 7pm.
Sunday at about 3pm...BAM! The engine blows...all white smoke in the rear view...
