Before embarking on a roadtrip with my wife and dogs around California, my MS3 received it's 30k service and I also replaced the tires. Since the Conti's just don't seem to be available in the stock size, the salesman suggested the 225's saying that it shouldn't make a difference in...

The numbers I posted are based off of the manufacturer's claims. We all probably know that accounting for all the different dynos and other variables (temperature, altitude, fans, gear, shop, etc) are going to give varied results. No dyno is definitive right? It's healthy to be wary of...

Thanks to all (80+) who have participated! Some interesting results which you may view using the link at the top of the post. I had to manually input results from the other poll, and I did my best to get everything correct. I made a few errors, but I think it's pretty accurate. Enjoy! (Survey is...

Poll back up and running, with reporting. i am in the process of integrating the results of the first poll, so if you have already completed the first one, please do not take the new poll unless you have recently changed your setup.

No, thank you, I will integrate the results and update the options.

i just found out that i can only collect a few more surveys using this service this month. I may try switching to a different site, utilizing the same questions. It's not as pretty as polldaddy, but perhaps the reporting is more flexible.

Thanks for the input! I will remove the MS sways from the list. It's stupid Mazda hasn't updated the website to include MS3-specific stuff. I grabbed everything from the M3 accessories page (except the clutch and whatnot). I'm not gathering this information to help me decide on what I want. I...

Comments: 287HP 307 FT LBS with CAI and Downpipe. FMIC+PnP STandback on their way! Car has 600miles on it and due to the wife, i'm not sure any mods will be coming soon. I could probably squeeze the Cobb SRI in without her knowing much about it but as for a TBE...yeah right! ;) For the turbo...

Please use the following links to participate in the survey and to view results, respectively. Thanks! MS3 Owner's & Mods Survey View Results Following is the original poll/survey, but the provider only allows so many responses per month. Thanks to everyone that participated, this quota was...

whatever dude

I just took mine in today to get that fixed. I had it in last week for it's first oil change and asked about the issue because I have noticed it too when it's cold outside. Took them a couple of days to get the part in. I'm pretty happy with my dealership. Paul at Courtesy has been very cool so far!

I haven't done any mods YET, but I'm planning on both Cobb SF SRI and AccessPORT when the AP is released. Easy to install, and best bang for the buck from what I've researched. Estimating price at less than $1000 ($200 & $800 respectively) with free shipping from **********. I'm not sure I plan...

They both manage engine performance. The Xede and CP-E Standback both intercept signals to the ECU and currently require installation, while the AP re-writes the ECU directly and plugs into your OBDII port. I don't have much data for the actual performance gains from either EMS, Xede claims...

No definitive specs on the Cobb AP. I've read somewhere from 25-50 HP increase with stock. From what I've read at the Cobb Updates post on the other forum, the AP is not currently slated to incorporate turbo timer functionality. You can control boost maybe as far as with the maps. But the reason...

I've read a lot about what you all have contributed so far, and I have been overwhelmed by the amount of information. I have spent a couple of hours stockpiling information in which I have been interested: mainly intake, exhaust, suspension and EMS. My goal is to try and make it easier for...

Wish it had AWD!

From what I've been reading the turbo timer, boost controller and BOV are mostly unneccessary and possibly harmful (BOV). I think your money would be best spent on an EMS solution (the Cobb AP will make that Dashhawk redundant plus increase performance with p-n-p), a good intake (leaning towards...
