    Can't figure out what the deal with my boost is...

    Ok, since I've been modding my MSP about 2 years ago I have noticed abnormal boost issues. Sometimes the car boosted quicker than other times, and I just brushed it off as it being a bad WGA or my MBC. I have the hiboost FMIC, Injen CAI, 3inch Apexr1 Jpipe back exhaust + other mods. But I...

    DEI Intake wrap worth it?

    Lately since it's been getting warm outside I've noticed my intake pipe being extremely hot... It's because the fan is constantly blowing hot air right on the intake and causing it to get hot. I mean it feels as hot if not hotter than my hot side intercooler piping. So I was wondering if this...

    Question about a battery tie-down...

    I just recently picked up an Optima Red Top battery, and well it didnt fit quite as well as I thought it would.

    AEM TruBoost boost controller question!

    Is this EBC worth it? or should I go with a greddy? I haven't read too much about the AEM so Im guessing not many people are running with one. Just wanted to know if its worth 300 or should I just get one of the Greddy EBC's. Thanks.

    1.8 swap for a 2.0... could we benefit from this?

    So I just happen to be reading some stuff on the protege 1.8 motor, and how it has a thicker block wall and shorter and fatter rods that can handle boost better. Are the blocks able to just be swapped out? (2.0 MSP block for a 1.8 protege block) or would we need to also change the head and other...
