What's up everybody. Glad to see some of these cars are still out there going strong. I am an old msprotege.com member and I have not been on here for a really long time. Not sure if any of the other old members are still on here or not. Anyway, I still have my yellow 2003.5 MSP. I have been...

My MSP started having an issue where it would freak out and start bucking when I tried to accelerate in any gear but 1st. I did not even have to be in boost, so there was no way I would have been maxing out the MAF voltage. It did it more when raining outside. It eventually threw a P0103 MAF...

Been running the hiboost fmic kit for long time now. Yesterday the diaphram on the included hks bpv finally failed and will no long hold vacuum so the bpv will not open. I removed the internals and installed the stock bpv in the recirc hose to avoid the compressor surge for the time being, but I...

Left work in Suwanee @ 4:30 PM on Tuesday attempting to go home to Powder Springs. I ended up stuck in traffic on 285 all night. Had to pull over and crash for an hour or two due to exhaustion. Then, finally at about 5:00 in the morning I was able to make my way off of 285 onto Cobb Pkwy. Then...

Just got done driving my MSP from San Diego to Atlanta in less than 3 days. Also, I did it during this crazy heat wave we are experiencing. Most of the way the temps were over 100 degrees. I have to say it did a pretty good job. I did not experience any major issues. The only problem I had was...

Looking to buy a stock msp turbo manifold. Must be in good shape with no cracks. Respond to this thread or pm me. I may be moving to cali and some stuff needs to go back stock for now. I have lots of msp performance parts and may be willing to trade something.

Hello, I'm a long time member of these forums, but have not been active in awhile. I currently live in GA and may be moving to the San Diego area in the near future. I have a built MS Protege and am trying to decide whether to bring it with me or cut my losses and sell it before I move. In GA we...

It seems AEM has recently developed a new piggyback engine management system that is programmable by the end-user. Not sure if anyone has used it on a protege yet, but it looks like it may be a viable option for those of us that need to maintain the OBD2 system so that our cars can pass...

Anybody ever tried using a 2001 626 2.0 intake manifold? It is not the same as the manifold sold by PGarage (2000 626). This manifold does not have VICS (variable induction control, dual runners), but it does have VTCS (variable tumbler control). It is a single runner manifold with one set of...

I found something that really disappointed me today. While using a smoke machine to test for vac/boost leaks I noticed a very small trickle of smoke coming from directly below the BPV. I felt round on the bottom side of the pipe and found that the smoke was coming right out of the pipe itself! I...

What up guys? Well it's finally almost time. I've been accumulating parts for the last 3 months and I'm about to the point where I have everything that I need for the first stage. Basically I'm going forged and upgrading a bunch of other s*** while the motor is out. I run the office side of...

What's up guys? I found a new TSB for our cars in our AllData system. I dunno, may help some of you who still have warranty. The TSB is for rough idle and involves replacing the EGR valve. It reads as follows " Emissions - Rough Idle/MlL ON/DTC's P0300/P0401 TSB: 01-028 05 2001-2003...

I've noticed that, on our cars, it seems like the wastegate actuator vacuum/boost line is extremely long compared to many other setups. It seems to me that this increases the potential for our cars to have boost spike. Many applications on other vehicles have a nipple on the turbo's outlet...

Edit: Sorry, just realized I posted in wrong section. Mods, please delete.

Wondering if anyone knows if this gt25r is a direct drop-in replacement for the stock turbo? http://www.atpturbo.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=GRT-TBO-001&Category_Code=GRT If not, what is different?

Ran across this video on youtube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2h33jFmTaBY anyone know who it is?

Just curious if anyone knew what's up with Hi Boost's phone number on the "Contact Us" page of their website. It has a strange ring and eventually goes to some automated message in Spanish. Any Spanish speakers care to translate? http://www.hiboost.com/contact.html

Anyone seen this. I ran across a link to this on Rockford Fosgate's website. http://www.mazdausa.com/MusaWeb/displayPage.action?pageParameter=mazdaSpeedTuningPersonal&sectionParameter=tunerProfile37&bhcp=1

Just wondering if anyone wants to do an extremely good deed by providing me with a PDF of the complete shop manual via email or something.(bowdown)
