First Mods

[Rocknthesuburb]

Hey, i picked up a speed 3 last week and am looking at a couple of mods to start out with. I ordered a Cobb SRI, a Blitz Turbo Timer, and the SU Shifter Spacers. I am still trying to decide on whether or not to do a tbe, and if so which one either Turboxs or CP-e or any other suggestions? Also what BOV would you all suggest (I think i should probably go with recirc) from what i've heard but are there any suggestions?

cp-e is probably the best turboback out there as of now.
There's always an ems, but Id wait until the tuning software came out from cobb to get a protune, or you coudl always go with cp-e and their standabck, and their throttle control flash.
I wouldnt worry about a bov yet, the only good bypass valve is the forge, and metalon metal clangingisnt a very cool sound.
Suspension mods? sway bars/springs?

+1 for the cp-e tbe. ETS top mount unless you want to go front mount.

Probly should throw a rear motor mount in there, or atleast the inserts. Personally, I'm pleased with the Forge BPV.

Thanks for the input and ya I am about to order a MM i forgot to mention that I think I'll probably end up going with the CP-e TBE as of now and wait on the BOV the more I read on them, and you think I should go ahead and get a standback? Or should I just wait for exhaust and get a TMIC?

we've got a pretty wide assortment of whatever you need for your mazdaspeed3 and have the benefit of spending too much time under the hood and behind the wheel of one

i think the Forge or HKS valve options are the way to go on this car.
