If true, this is a major strategy change in marketing MS parts for the MS3. Maybe they realized almost no one would buy at the Blue warranty price. If the CAI is gonna be under the same warranty code as the MS6 (Green, not Orange), I expect they'll come out at the same price, too, around $375...

I'll get some up tomorrow. The sticky tape mount sucks and is already coming up. I think I'll try some velcro.

Nutari has done a lot of good stuff for this forum, but despite what he posted earlier, it looks like CP-E will have a front-mount ready shortly. Of course, they've been saying that for awhile, but this time I think they're serious. If they don't, you ought to go for the Autoexe. You've spent...

Sounds like you want to be spoonfed. If an experienced tuner like BEGI uses a microphone, then the Xede is obviously not tied into the knock sensor. Why would they go through the hassle if they could just get knock sensor data from the Xede? Presumably, when audible knock is detected adjustments...

BEGI uses a microphone and headphones.

It happens even before the engine is running, as soon as the juice to the ignition is turned on.

Me, too, noticed it when I was installing my boost gauge and had the hood open a lot and was turning the juice on and off a lot. Comes on when you turn the key past ACC and stays on for awhile even if you turn back to ACC/off without starting the engine. I vote for the fuel pump. Might be...

I think I've read something about this somewhere. Interesting, but can you get a boost reading post-fix to see if it's pushing more than 12 psi? You want a gauge anyway don't you? I can provide detailed instructions on the install if you pull the trigger.

"Regular Low Tone that comes stock on the 6. Plenty loud enough for me when added to stock MS3 High Tone." P.S. It's hard enough to reach from the bottom. I'd say just about impossible from the top.

Just confirming that boost is down in 3rd to 12 psi max I was playing with my boost gauge yesterday and I noticed that when going up an incline in 5th the boost was holding nicely at 16 psi. No spiking and settling down, just a nice solid 16 psi while the engine was under load. I then did...

For those interested in an easy, cheap ($10) way to get a respectably loud two tone horn, just buy a Fiamm Low Tone horn kit at your local discount auto parts store and attach it to your current horn. It'll sound just like the 6 horn, but fits much better into the tight space behind the bumper...

In the engine bay attached to the front side of battery box using the hole for a grey attachment thingy that secures a battery cable inside the box. The cable seems to hang fine without being attached. In case you're thinking about tapping into wires instead of the fuse box, I got this from a...

I tapped in at the fuse box using Add-a-Circuits from Autozone. Pretty cool. It's a fuse-type unit with two fuse slots and a line out with a crimp-on connector. You pull the fuse out of the circuit you want to use and plug it into one of the fuse slots on the unit. Then you put in a fuse for...

Yeah, it does pop right under load. Plus there's a diagnostic cycle to tell you if it's mis-wired and it's not telling me that. I'm enjoying watching the show and finally seeing what's going in boost-wise. How's your install going? Going on 3 weeks since Christmas now. Since you have a previous...

Finally got my boost gauge in. I post some pix later. Boy, the first time doing something sure takes a long time. Looks pretty good mounted right b/t the speedo and the right-hand nacelle with the trip meter, etc., still fully visible. Anyhow, big ole fat newb question. Did I mis-wire...
