Short Story: End cap came unscrewed while at the track. Took apart the damper and notice the red bushings worn. Replaced them with supplied replacements. Problem: Should it be possible to pull the end w/ the small diameter cylinder completely out. I can pull the damper completely apart...

update?

Turn down the boost on the mbc and see how it reacts. 29psi WTF!!!

Thanks for updating and pics! Looks like the bov will fit with a fmic. :lol: The products look amazing! Keep us posted on progress and pricing!

What are you guys test fitting? I recently saw your youtube video of your new Diverter Valve, test fitting that? I already have your BOV and it is amazing! If the DV fits, I plan on getting it w/ my FMIC! You just peaked my interest when I saw you guys were looking for MS3's. You guys make...

bump!!!

This sounds interesting, I am trying to get some interest on the other side of the river. Will keep you posted. :)

The fellow Mazda owners, in KY, are talking about a meet later in November or early December. Been reading a view posts, talking about getting some TN guys, as well. Sounds exciting, gauging interest in the Ohio area, mostly Cincinatti area, but all are welcomed. Here is their thread...

No fitment issues, just need a new recirculation tube. Lines are silicone and very durable, no pinching at all. I bent the edge flap of the motor cover up so there would not be any ruubbing. I mostly run the car w/ out it!

I do not know the size, but Ford has a contract w/ Borg Warner to only use thier turbos. MS3 = K04 Borg Warner Turbo, ST = ??? Borg Warner Turbo

+1, That too, forgot about that.

With the extra adders, going by the pics and description, maybe extra 20-30hp. Considering used stock 2007 MS3 are reselling for around $17,000 to $18,000. $4,000 more for about an extra 30hp is BS! Go and buy a new MS3 Sport at that price. All the performance, but no Navi, leather, Bose...

What about Synapse Synchronic BOV? I have in 100% recirc. and I LOVE IT! Little to no compressor surge or flutter dump. Throttle response is quick and responsive. Boost is automatic as soon as the gas pedal is pressed. It is great. Go to youtube for videos, or to Synapse website. Here is...

You need to talk to tvissues. He experienced boost creep w/ an atp turbo. His turbo is larger than the one you are running, but he was experiencing creep and did not have a forged motor. End result, his motor blew and now he at "square one"!!! Here is his cardomain site...

Advantages of this are lower boost temperatures since L/A cools faster than A/A, and since there are lower temperatures then you can run lower boost. Run less boost w/ the same amount of power as some one running higher boost, and it is safer for you motor

I hope you have you engine completely rebuilt to handle that size of turbo! If you do not then the first time you get on it, you will blow your engine and be SOL! It does not matter if you have the best tuning equipment and tuner. No tune will protect a lame motor. You also do not have the...

Not to mention a "ram intake" on a turbo motor is useless. Works much better on NA motor than a turbo motor.

SS MS3 on Cobb Springs, OEM 18"x8" RX-8 Wheels(PC Wet Black) Stock Center Caps, Toyo Proxes 4 (225/40/18)

^^^Damn thing has a L/A Intercooler!!! Here is mine:

IMO, Ford should just release the Focus RS to the US and stop playing with us with the MS3. If this car is going to be awd, then Mazda will have to battle with the "Big 2" and they lost last time with the MS6. If the new MS3 is going to be awd, then I am thinking the price is going to be...
