    Stock + Custom MSP SMIC Review

    The best BEGI price was $699 + shipping when it was first out and this was a group buy. The latest prices I have seen is $750 + tax + shippping. I am not an authority but I do not think there is any way you will get a new BEGI FMIC for ~$600. I am sure most people will agree with this

    Stock + Custom MSP SMIC Review

    The Begi is at least $300-400 more shipped than a custom MSP I believe, which is almost twice as expensive(not just a bit more) Typically people that put in FMIC are going for a least 200hp and way up. The SMIC is great for better driveability. Do some research and you'll see most people with...

    Stock + Custom MSP SMIC Review

    Forge will stall if you shift into neutral on a stock setup from any RPM above 3000. This is just FACT. You can phone them and they will tell you the same thing. A few people out there have been lucky and have not had this problem too severe- but it is still there none the less. It is simple...

    Stock + Custom MSP SMIC Review

    RTV is for putting around the plastic end pipes and the metal IC end pipes. It is just a way to keep a good seal has good thermal breakdown protection compared to many make a gasket silicone tubes. Kind of just like red glue to hold in addition your hose clamps. As far as the BEGI goes I...

    Stock + Custom MSP SMIC Review

    I have a totally stock except for a K & N drop in filter MSP, and installed a custom MSP SMIC about 6 weeks ago. I had a Forge vent to atmosphere BOV in before I put the SMIC, but removed it after one day as it made the car undriveable( that is another story). Actually with the Forge you can...

    Any Forge BOV install pics?

    No "Whoosh" help Well the BOV is in and install took around 20min. Hardest part is removing the vac line from the recirc valve without breaking off the nipple. I disconnected the battery to reset the computer. Problem is that everything seems to be working except I can not hear any whoosh...

    Any Forge BOV install pics?

    Good stuff. I plan on staying stock boost as long as I am still under warranty. Maybe later upgrade the intake (just K + N) right now. The hard pipes seem like a rip off to me, as they are just a couple of pipes. The CAI sounds good, except we have slushy streets 6 months a year. Maybe a...

    Any Forge BOV install pics?

    Thanks for all the info hazeXban, but I think you misunderstood me. I am looking forward to hearing MY Forge BOV (not yours). Thanks anyways, you went above and beyond. I will install mine in a few hours. I also have a Custommsp SMIC and will put it in later this week. Did you notice a big...

    Any Forge BOV install pics?

    Does any one have any FORGE BOV installed pics? I know it is a direct replacement, but some photos would be greatly appreciated. All the other threads on this do not have any pics, or the pics do not work anymore. I would just like to see what other people have done with its exact...

    Daily driver, what to mod and not to mod

    Good for you. Like I said in my previous post I am also planning on putting in a new SMICand intake. I think Mazda should be ashamed that their product came with such an inferior IC for this setup. I think you definitely will have a stealthy car but at 12psi reliability may be a different...

    Daily driver, what to mod and not to mod

    Another Calgarian with a MSP new to the forum. Hey Geomatics I just switched my manual tranny to redline MT-90 ~$30CAD, but I found that it made very minimal difference to shifting quality. As far as using GM synchromesh I chose not to due to it not listing its weight and wanting to stay...
