you could add a resonator or replace the muffler altogether with something less audible. if you are catless you could always just add a high flow cat.

if you want to see a good example of a modern twin charged car read "How to tune and Modify Engine Management Systems". They swap a Lexus V6 into an MR2 and then supercharge it using the TRD blower kit, then they build a turbo kit and compare the two systems, then they build the motor and...

just try it out

I go to the car wash every week and spray my entire engine bay with soap and wash the hell out of it with a power washer. Car starts up fine after everytime (just dont soak the filter obviously as you dont want water on your MAF and make sure you are not spraying so hard that a vacuum line is...

just go to a competent exhaust shop and have them weld you one from scratch for alot less money and just choose whatever muffler you like to hear

sounds like your doing something wrong.

i do not believe that you do not need to change the ecu, it just will not be quite as good of a tune as an n/a ecu. do you know the turbo is blown and the issues are not with your engine internals (rings, seals etc.)?

lol what do you mean a real BOV? the forge is awsome. I bet you wont have a problem reselling. You have to pay for the springs, it doesnt come with both. I hear ya. I really need a nice suspension setup too. Post up pics when you do yours!

278whp is the current stock motor fsdet record btw. plenty live over 200whp daily without issues.

correct my original thread from 2005 has all the info you need for dual valves. I wouldnt really recommend it, just setup your current bov properly, http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?111800-Dual-Valve-Forge-BOV-stock-BPV-How-To-pics&highlight= there is absolutely no reason to...

No it is not. the forge is usually sold with either a green or yellow spring. almost everyone orders the stronger spring to get rid of turkey all you need is the softer spring. most have the stronger spring installed as it would vent a bit, but not enough to cause the car to stall with the...

ya it is good for driving in canadian winter time, not so much in the summer. must stop being a cheap bastard and buy coilovers.

..and ecu and maybe radiator? dont know myself but theres lots of kl info out there. great motors. used to love the sound of my mx6 v6

i need coilovers asap lol it handles as strange as it looks.

then the new rims and tuner lugs went on. as you can see i need to get coilovers.

correct. also not a bad idea to remove and inspect all intake and intercooler piping/clamps while you are at it. proper T-Bolt clamps are the best to use on boosted cars. I have changed every single clamp in my setup to a T-Bolt now and all vacuum lines replaced with proper clamps and zip ties...

just go to google and type "protege+maf+relocation" and then click on "images". It will show you tons of pics from many people who have done it. unfortunately you will need metal pipes and silicone couplings to get er done, however you only technically need to do the cold pipe. the turbo to...

sure it is very easy. all you need is 2 silicone couplings and a saw if you already have metal intercooler piping.

one of the biggest improvements you can make to driveability of the car with the venting bov is to relocate you MAF. I used to have a setup like yours for a long time where metered air is vented. after relocating I could not believe i put up with the other setup for so long. i found that i was...

just take a few pics of the vacuum/boost lines on your phone and we can tell you right away if something is hooked up wrong. if the bov flutters more now, odds are the vacuum line is cracked or leaking. everything needs a good vac/boost source or the devices will not work properly. also...
