I'm mostly likely getting my turbo mani in June so I would have no more use for my stock manifold if you want it Port...

There are kits that boost anywhere from 200 to 240 hp that pretty much only modify boost and fuel delivery. I haven't heard of any chipped 1.8T motors blowing recently, so I assume it's pretty safe.

That sounds like when it would start pinging...but then again if your FPR is under a lot of stress that could cause it in that situation too...is it possible that something is just rattling though?

Wow Stou those are both sweet ass bikes. I am a youngin too (17) but I've learned a lot in the few months I've been here, and I check the F/I forums pretty much everyday...just don't post all that much either. If I can stop tearing my knee and having to get surgeries, I can go back to work and...

It's really all where you want the power...truth is some people just never take it to the redline. It's true though, that a good sized T3 would offer the best overall driveability when tuned.

And besides, anything you could gain with the compression bump you can make up plus more with some extra boost instead...you would just lack some low end torque, but if you want that, use a smaller turbine :)

Yea, well I bet my Walbro 255 pump pushes more psi than yours!(smoke)

Well, I mean don't get me wrong of course I'd love to just push the boost up to 10psi, but I'll probably stay at 8 or below for a while once my setup is done. After hearing all this stuff with non-intercooled setups though, plus the extra time to re-configure stuff, it just doesn't make sense to...

YP5...I might agree with you (as well as everyone else) but I still have to say that along as IS300 is talking about our cars instead of us (this is actually an interesting topic I am starting to learn something) than we should stay off his back. I say we keep the flame posts from both sides to...

I DON'T want to be the bubble buster, but wasn't the last guy to go to 10psi the one who threw a rod or two? Of course one of these systems is needed, as well as better fuel delivery, but couple other things would be necessary: 1) forged rods 2) lower comp. pistons 3) Would upgrade my tranny in...

It's probably quite different, but if anything, I am guessing the timing is retarded further from both the MP3 and the P5...

So, oversimplified: O2 sensor = remapped ECU FMU (more pressure) ~ bigger injectors unless they are running at higher psi as well but aren't they only boosting to like 5.9 lbs? Then again, Mazda LOVES to run rich...

I was going to put a nice aftermarket fuel pump in to help fuel delivery when I put my turbo in...but now that I can get a hold of this new O2 sensor device...do I really need a stronger pump, or is the stock one good for lower boost pressures? At what point would I need to replace the pump?

Well, I picked it up tonight, after waiting so long!! It's a Master Power (licensed by Garret) T3/T4 50 trim with a 60-1 fronthousing!!! I just had to give it a kiss when I bought it:D I have a picture but its not attaching for some reason...

Yea I did get confused...but if you look at the torque numbers for the TT on both models, there is no lag...the 220 one kicks in at 2200
