    What Guages to get?

    An oil pressure guage is not really necessary but you can lose oil pressure for several different reasons. It's not common on a newer car or a basically stock car. It is nice to keep tabs on it though, if you lose oil pressure the turbo can be damaged and the motor can be too. If you have lots...

    What Guages to get?

    To Razz227-fuel pressure isn't pointless if you have an adj. fpr. This is one key thing in preventing detonation. To geo212- an air intake temp. guage would be nice but the air coming into the turbo is heated at different rates depending on how hot the turbo is. that is why an egt guage is...

    how much boost with this setup?

    One suggestion if you want to run higher boost on a flashed car is to put higher octane fuel in it. I don't know about where you live but here you can get 100 octane race fuel. That would help prevent detonation. I haven't researched it yet but if there is a fuel pressure regulator you can up...

    What Guages to get?

    I have an autometer a/f guage in my mustang and the only thing it does for me is annoy the piss out of me. The only use you have for an in-car a/f guage is to keep from leaning out.(When tuning, you're normally on the dyno) In our cars, which happens to be rev happy, it would lean out too...

    Damn speed limiter

    I hit 132 five more times and it sent me into a wall. Don't think the fuel cut would hit at exactly the same time, five times in a row. I have the runs on video but I don't have the software yet to post it. The car is drag limited-but not at 132, the car has a fuel cut-but not at 132, the car...

    WTF is up with my MSP?? It's faster at partial throttle the it is at WOT.

    I'm running stock boost and I fell the same way- more power at partial throttle than WOT. I thought it was just me but my buddy drove it and he said the same thing. Mine is not flashed yet so that might have something to do with it.

    Damn speed limiter

    Well, yesterday I thought I would do a top speed run. I was going, going, going-------WHAM!!! It felt like a brick wall. 132 is fast but I want faster. Any way to bypass the speed limiter. I noticed the RPMs were creeping up on 6000 so theres not that much left but 140 or more would be...

    Titanium spotted in Cary, NC

    Thanks for the welcome Tracy, its nice to know that there are other MSP drivers nearby. As I said above, I'm a mustang guy so I don't know s*** about the MSP or Mazda for that matter. I do know that the dealerships are s***. I tried to get mine flashed and the first guy told me it would void...

    Titanium spotted in Cary, NC

    The MSP you saw this morning was mine. I just got it about two weeks ago. I saw you also. I've heard nothing but good things about the dodge. I'm new to this forum and so far it been a big help. Maybe we'll see eachother at a light so you can smoke me! This MSP is okay but it could...

    ECU Flash voids the warranty???

    This is all horseshit. I just bought my MSP two weeks ago and I am already having problems. Dealerships can kiss my ass. I called them back this morning about the flash and the guy took 45 minutes to call me back to tell me that they didn't have the software to do the flash. He then told me...

    ECU Flash voids the warranty???

    The dealership that tried to screw me is Al Smith Mazda off of Wake Forest Rd. in Raleigh, NC. If anyone wants to call ( of course i'm making the call as I'm typing) and give them hell the number is 800-455-7116. Thanks for your replies and I am hoping to have a flashed protoge within a few days.

    ECU Flash voids the warranty???

    I called the dealership to schedule an ECU flash and the service guy told me that it would void every bit of warranty that I had. If this is true, is there any other way to advance the timing? If it isn't true, how do I get the dealership to do the flash. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
