    Any MS CAI install tips from those who've done it? '07 MS3

    Installing the intake was easy and the instructions walk you through step by step. The only tricky part was the air diverter in regards to the top bolt. The are is small and the bolt faces the front of the vehicle and the acces is limited due to the bumper. I tried for awhile and used a...

    I will have to decide what to get first. I told myself that I would not go crazy with this vehicle. I was driving a 1995 interas gsr with headers and intake before trading it in on this car. I loved that car, was not the fastest car but it ran like a champ and the motor pulled stronger than my...

    Those gauges look nice! Do you know if they are reliable? I use to have a civic and installed apexi v-tec controller and a tachometer for my japan spec integra motor with nitrous. I did not do the initial motorswap but helped out on friends motor swaps and installed all headers exhaust and...

    I am looking at a turbo timer and a boost gauge to help prevent turbine failure due to turning off hot turbo without cooling it first.

    No I live in the NE Heights by I-25 and San Mateo area. I am also considereing the CAI for now. Maybe later on looking into a front mount intercooler if their is significant HP increase.

    No I have a black Mica I have not seen a red one on the road yet. Have you done any mods yet? I am contemplating on purchasing the CAI for the vehicle but not sure if I should wait to see if any problems arise in the long run.
