thanks for all the replys, i did read how it is cause i live in maryland where it is really cold out now, and i only noticed this after i replaced the bpv. I have 41,000 miles on the car and I have not done a spark plug change. also a question while i was driving home from the gym i played no...

Hello, I have had the HKS SSQV in recirc for almost 3 weeks and I have noticed a HUGE drop in MPG. My onboard dash meter said I was getting about 24-25 mpg avg. But I reset it when I installed the HKS and I DID install it recirc mode. and I have lost what seems to be 5 mpg. When I fill up...

Im thinking of going all cobb like the cobb turbo inlet and then a cobb SRI dont know what the power difference is but eventually I am going to get a cobb AP for easy tuning. what do you think?

awesome, i will do this as soon as it stops raining, been raining forever........ oh and on other thing. When I did the reinstall to make the bov recirculating I unclamped the pipe that has the air sensor in it and I have heard about this air straightener that people said did not come with the...

so when you say unbolt the back of the BOV are you talking about the allen screws on the back, and you can take the back part off and rotate it? cause I went to a friends house and I actually read the instructions from CP-E and it said to flip the recirculation tube so that the end that was on...

So is this something I should worry about? Should I go to the dealership and ask them to take a look at that pin thing? Sorry if this is a dumb question but can someone explain the valve stuffs about this car and why that sound is normal or not normal.....please try not to be to technical cause...

no i did not, and i think I am near the time to do the oil change too. My friend told me that it could be the oil too, but wanted to see what you guys thought.

can you guys listen to this and tell me if this ticking noise is the valve or fuel injector issue that I have heard of? let me know please and thanks in advance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZytYnw_F_E

so i switched mine to recirculate today and had a couple of questions. 1. The hose the you plug the nose from the hks into is a little crimped, not all the way but a little and it seemed that it was in the best postion. 2. In conjunction with the nose to the recirculation hose is the hose on...

I bought the rims a tires combo from WheelDude and I went with the cheap General Exclaim UHP's they are good tires have not tested any other ones but plan to get better ones once its time. With just a MS CAI I was only doing a 14.6 1/4 mile. I thought the car did better stock but maybe I just...

yep I can remember my uncle asking me if I knew the difference between a car that blew white or black smoke out the exhaust, and he said that white is oil and black is gas. It stuck with me ever since. but yea it was fun having the new bov and seeing people do the what the **** was that turn...

Well it seems I have been a member for a little while but never posted any pics of my car. Well here is a couple of pics that my friend took when I was at 75/80 dragway in Maryland. This is not how it was when I bought the car but I have only done cosmetic work. what do you guys think? looks...

Hey all, been a while since I posted anything on here cause I have done nothing to my car and was going to drive it stock for a while. Anyhow I came accross a perfect condition CP-E mazdaspeed 3 HKS SSQV kit that retails for I think $310 and I got it for $150, the guy was a cool guy and...

I have 41,000 miles on mine and I have no smoke from the turbo. Does the smoke rise from under the hood? Or does it come out the exhaust? I sometimes when I drop gears and floor it I see a small exhaust puff but even keeping it floored it goes away.

yeah i was thinking about returning it, but know i think im gonna keep it a litlle longer. But once i start modding the car im canceling it and they will prorate it and give me back the difference.

oh and when i buy the IVT22's they dont make them for different cars for that model. For Example IVT22's for mazdaspeed 3 and IVT22's for like a toyota and i woul dneed to be specific on what car they are for. Or is that model plug fit our car? i hope im making sense lol

ok, I thank you for letting me understand what plugs I should get. Still a little confused about what material we should get and it would be ideal to get copper, but we dont have that option for our car. So with that i will be getting the IVT22's as well. SO back to my original post, what do...

what brand spark plugs did you use, because now i'm reading that the iridium may foul after a few months and a turbo car should use copper plugs instead of iridium. Is this correct can anyone else say yay or nay on this. And if so what copper sparks should be used for upgrade and replacement?
