    FMIC Question

    I like mine...I have a turboxs fmic. But for the price I would go with the cobb or cpe over the turboxs. I bought mine before both that I mentioned were out. But no CEL and I don't have a standback or a AP. Just intake/bc/mapclamp/testpipe/fmic...no check engine lights at all :)

    20lb safe or not.

    He was untuned with a lot of mods...thats gonna be a given for any car... I ran 18-19 with just intake/midpipe, boost controller, and homeade map clamp. A/fs were still VERY safe and I was getting no knock via my scanegauge. If you don't have anything to read knock or a/f's I would be very...

    Front grill area blocked off my mazda....

    I removed that a long time ago...my charge temp didn't change at all via scan gauge so that means the tmic is still getting the amount of air flow that it was before :)

    ECU reflash at Mazda

    if the customer wants it and if its availible for your car then its not bs work. i look for new tsb's everyday...its good to stay on top of things so you know what is going on. i guess im to much into customer service.... plain and simple the techs just dont want to deal with it.

    ECU reflash at Mazda

    That is bs...i'm a lexus tech and they are lazy. If someone wants a reflash i'm going to do it...that is easy money to a tech. Its hard to find good techs and good dealerships. But the tsb is there for reference but if its under warranty then why the hell not do it(if availble) and get paid...

    FMIC Picks

    I say go with a custom setup....or I may be selling my turboxs soon. I may need money soon, but if I do another thread will be up about that.... But with my turboxs i'm seeing charge temps 20-30 degrees lower then my topmount via scan gauge. I love it, there is very very minimal lag. The...

    Installed TurboXS FMIC

    I just installed mine as well...I made a boost leak tester with stuff from home depot. I found I had a really bad leak at the bpv/bov flange welds. The weld looked like crap and you could see the pin holes. Needless to say turboxs has done nothing about it and will not return my phone call or...

    racepipe/mid-pipe question

    I noticed very little with my test pipe...i'm sure the gain is there but it didn't bite me in the butt like the intake or boost controller did...and by deleting the last cat your not going to get heavy exhaust gas fumes...its not even noticable on my car.

    Midpipe only questions

    I had a rx8 with a racing beat midpipe...I actually still have...and I know what you are talking about. I just put the CS midpipe on my MS3 and I love it. I haven't noticed the smell...so I guess its not really that different. I noticed the smell right away with my rx8. I still have stock...
