    Well I was all set to do the deal with a new reworked turbo but I decided to call my dealer again to get confirmation that the deal for the labor being free if I put another turbo and that my warranty was gone and the guy said no can do buddy. If you want another turbo you will have to pay the...

    rebuilt PG or PTP SST ???????

    Yes agreed so I have to say that this is the scary part of getting a new more efficient turbo. Even with a tune how do you know where the breaking limit is ? All my mods so far have been paved by others who had great success which is great since mine has worked out perfect. Now on the new turbo...

    PG Manifold Questions

    Well its a pain in the ass to install for sure but its worth it. I really like mine and it made a good difference with the performance of the car. I have the version 1 of the manifold so it was not fun but they fixed some issues with version 2 which is nice. Make sure to follow the instructions...

    rebuilt PG or PTP SST ???????

    Well I was afraid of the big turbo since the success rate on them seem to hit and miss. My warranty will be done the minute I put anything but true stock so no worries there since i am willing to say good bye but I also do not want to blow up my engine. So I do not see any sort of path to a...

    rebuilt PG or PTP SST ???????

    Well I took my car to the garage the other day and guess what my turbo is gone. I brought it in since it was starting to smoke blue. I would normally get just black smoke but now I was getting a really nice blue cloud. So my dealer is really great. They are allowing me to put what ever turbo I...

    cdfp upgrade

    I have the CDFP fuel pump and it made a difference. The car was able to have power all the way to redline compared to before. The power was smoother as well compared to before. Before my car was on and off for power and after the fuel pump it was always on and has power to redline. So its an...

    SU Motor mount issues

    Well I have had mine for 2 months and its finally calmed down. When I first installed it everything was vibrating when idling with the AC on. Without the AC I would not get any vibs. Now after 2 months of driving the vibrations are there but much lighter or I might just have gotten used to it...

    Enjoying my MS3 100%!!!

    Well I read the thread and there is no need to worry about reliability from my perspective. I have had my MS3 for over a year and I have a significant amount of mods on the car for more power and all I have to say this car is the best car I have ever owned for all the reasons mentioned in this...

    new downpipe not so good

    SuperStretch18: that's exactly what I was looking for :) LOL!!!! AD07: Yep you hit the nail on the head. I did notice that on the higher rpm range that there is no power drop at all even between shifts now compared to before. It pulls instantaneously on gear shifts while before I had a slight...

    new downpipe not so good

    Well this is now the 3rd day with the new downpipe and things are better once I experimented a little with it. So under normal driving conditions on the highway and you step on it there is not much difference until the rpms are above 4.5k It seems the downpipe comes on strong at 4.5k rpm and...

    new downpipe not so good

    I disconnected the battery before driving it. I have had 2 ingnition cycles so far on it so we will see if it gets better but on a side note at least for the moment I know that I dont have any bottlenecks in the system.

    new downpipe not so good

    I think this is what I am running into right now. Because I did the manifold and the intake stuff I no longer had bottlenecks so there is little to be had by adding any new components at the moment. The only way to add more power at the moment is to start tuning the car I think. Adding a...

    new downpipe not so good

    new downpipe now better Well I installed my new downpipe lastnight and I have to say that it made little to no difference to the performance of the car. I cannot tell if it did anything accept make the car a little louder when you are hard on the gas. So with the mods I had before I think I...

    I have had mine for a week as well. The install is very easy. Follow the how to and it works great. I have noticed the same thing. Great power till redline and much smoother power down low when in a high gear and loading the engine. This is a great mod.
