    Will it hurt my MSP installing a Turbosmart Kompact Series Universal Dual Port BOV???

    Just ordered a HKS SSQV. That won't cause any problems on a stock engine, right?

    Thanks man! Yeah, my HKS SSQV came in from China the other day. $46 on FocalPrice.com...damn steal! haha. Only thing is, it took forever to get here. Free shipping. About to put that on next week and also order the street unit hot pipe.

    Just got my SteedSpeed mani installed today. It feels amazing! Hard on your pockets, but it's definitely worth the buy. If you can find a familiar shop who's got cheap labor then you're golden. I took it to Long Road Racing here in Raleigh and they did the swap in 4 hours. I also got all new...

    need more power!

    Dang. So what do I need to do in order to be safe with these little upgrades? Boost guage, Wideband 02 sensor, and I'm straight? I've peeped your mods. Very nice, but I'm just trying to get a little more boost and make sure everything's running right when I do so. I won't have the car for too...

    Soo, I've had my MSP for several months now. I bought it upgraded with a CorkSport turbo back exhaust, Tein SS suspension, and a Blitz turbo timer. I'm about to get fixed what just happened to it...which is the stock turbo exhaust manifold cracking in several places. I'm replacing it with a...

    What's a better plug than stock, that's in the range, and without having to re-gap?

    need more power!

    Sorry, but what's a wideband? And how can I acquire it? I just ordered a Vibrant Performance MBC, too. This is an every day driver, so I'm thinking 8psi is a safe jump from stock?

    My MSP is at stock and I'm a newb. Are IZFR6F's safe to use for every day driver? The specs say .044 gap height. And so that's a .011 additional range from the stock plugs. I'm guessing anything you've listed as "(stock heat range)" is fine.

    I have pretty much all stock, too. Except for a CorkSport Turbo Back, and Tein suspension. Bought it that way. 92k on it. I want to buy this D2P EBC...

    Will it hurt my MSP installing a Turbosmart Kompact Series Universal Dual Port BOV???

    http://www.maperformance.com/turbosmart-kompact-series-dual-port-blow-off-valve.html Let me get some opinions!!! Yes, I know it doesn't increase performance, but damn we all love that blow off sound. I just don't want it to affect the turbo or engine in any way differently than the stock BPV.
