    boost controller on stock k04?

    How drastically is it dropping? All turbos have a "peak" boost and then drops and holds only a few lbs less then peak. If it's spiking to ~20lbs and then dropping drastically, it sounds like a boost leak. Is this the case?

    Boost Fluctuation under WOT

    Just recently I have felt my cars boost fluctuating under WOT and was able to capture a log of what has been going on. I haven't made any changes besides resetting the ECU (battery disconnect) when changing out the battery. I'm not sure what's going on and I have done some research and it seems...

    DSC, Parking brake, ABS and "traction" lights on....

    Well, I don't know if this will help at all or if you ever found out what was wrong with yours, but mine just happened to do the same exact thing this past weekend... However, at the same time the lights came on, my Axel broke and the wheel bearing is shot. Probably was the sensor that went out...

    Trackpipe/Downpipe n00b...any help from Speed6 Gurus?

    Quick and Easy You could always do what I did.... drill out the pre-cat :) But since you're out in Cali, you probably have emissions. Here in Ohio, we don't have them so I don't have to worry about it. WOOT! But in all honesty, I'd go with whatever you wanted (JUST NOT EBAY s***) and YES for...

    Sorry, I lied. Just checked my invoice and for a factory Mazda Short block I got it for 2,650 +tax. Cheapest way if you don't need an entire long block.

    need a used/rebuilt engine

    When I had my motor rebuilt I just got the short block for about 3.2K. I had upgraded internals, installed and in the car for only 3.8k. Can you get away with that?

    DSC, Parking brake, ABS and "traction" lights on....

    I'm seeing this issue more and more and more as our cars get older. I still have stock pads and rotors @ 60k miles (amazing!) but I've started to notice that me DSC, ABS, and Traction light come on every now and then. It goes away after a few miles and only seems to happen when I let me wheels...

    Cobb Turbo Inlet Hose Reviews?

    I have it and I love it. The FIRST thing I noticed is how much LOUDER the turbo sounds. I have a CAI and this COBB TIP and it spools so freaking loud. I absolutely love it! Another thing I've noticed is the turbo spools just a few hundreds of an RPM faster. The stock Pipe is VERY restrictive do...

    Bent Rod

    Sorry to hear it man! I just recently had to get a new engine on mine. My block was cracked and I had a pretty bent rod. I was on Cobb Stage 2 with stock turbo and no cats and CAI. I was lucky to get away with a new short block since a long block wasn't needed. Saved a few K with that. I did...

    How's your MS6 holding up?

    55k Miles here. Lets just say everything went at once. I was cruising @ 68 in 6th gear and all of a sudden there was a nice loud *CLING* and then some noise. Took it to the shop and it was my clutch, my 3rd and 4th rod and my engine block. I have light mods and all highway miles :( Engine is...
