    interest in fmic local san diego speed shop

    how about Stage 3 w/ FMIC, hardpipes, & SRI? Still not much difference except on the track? Will there be reduced risk for detonation with the lower intake temps?

    Gonna hurt

    Are you sure you want to get a lawyer? At the arraignment hearing, you have the chance to tell your side of the story, while the policeman is not present and they simply read off his report. I have plead "no contest" before and ended up having the ticket dropped. No lawyer required for this...

    *sigh* another msp dead

    sorry about that. I wouldn't let it go, since the policeman doesn't have the final say as far as liability. Bottom line is you wouldn't have wrecked if that ahole wouldn't have spit at your car. I think you can find a lawyer that doesn't get paid unless you do, so there would be no harm in...

    Speed after mods

    Wow, those people must be the worst drivers in the world! There are plenty of stock MSPs that have hit 15.3 or better.

    random thoughts on my MSP

    love driving this car...just wish there were more winding roads near me to get the most out of it. So much more fun to drive than the Jetta VR6 I traded in for it.

    Some noobish questions...

    When I installed my gauge, I was surprised to see that boost was up (> 3psi) at even half throttle.

    Bye Bye MSP.

    Audi A4...BMW 330...how is that in the same market as an MSP. Why didn't you pick up an RX8?

    Boost What To Do!!!

    You guys are really lucky if your stock MSP runs 8psi. Just about everyone else says it tops out at 6.5. I think a couple extra psi of boost is significant because this engine has the same internals as the base (130hp). I'm sure the design margin was just about used up with the turbo set at...

    Boost What To Do!!!

    Increasing the load is a problem that would definitely reduce engine life, but that's not the real issue. The problem is that 6.5 psi is right at the limit for knock under certain atmospheric conditions. Increasing boost increases the risk of detonation.
