Highest Boost Capable

He's one of the test cars for CP-E. The Piggyback is not yet available. Still in testing phase.

I have the XEDE on my speed and it yanks out some pretty good power right now...we arent able to control the boost yet we are having wiring issues...but I intalled my wideband and I am running 11.4 AFR at WOT which is much better than the 10.1 I was running...once we ve taken care of the wastegate controll will be making a map for 18psi and one for 20psi. We plan to test the limits of the stock turbo a liitle with the 20psi because there has been such debat as to what this tubo can actually handle. Once we ve established that it can or cant handle it I will install the ATP gtr3071 turbo....without a cutout....(if you no what I mean) Right now with the intake, exhaust, blowoff valve and Xede Im hoping will make some good number on the dyno...soon as we have will post.
 
So if i was to get one of these tuning systems, by cp-e or xede, would i need the boost cut killer, because the boost is turned up? Or do you not get boost cuts when it is tuned?

No you should not....unless your gonna run more than 22psi and then who knows because the only guy who has (4drhtrd) had trouble with his boost(his exhuast cutout being the reason) spiking into the high 20's WOT and then at 30psi BOOM! No one really no's for sure with Cpe. Its not available to the public yet. I like there work, I have some of it but for them to post a dyno graph with a cat-back makin 25whp and a dowmpipe doing the same (i think you no where Im going with this) I have there stuff and didnt see anywhere near those gains...but I didnt expect to.

Hmmmmmmmmm, well i think ill sell mine then, if you no anyone that wants it then send them my way
 
Have you guys ever knoticed, some days youll roll your windows up, but when you get to the car there all rolled down. What the hell is up with that. Its done it to me once before at the beach, and yesterday. What would it be from??

you accidently putting pressure on the UNLOCK button on your remote.
 
We're getting off-topic here, but ya, on the 2nd unlock if you keep holding the button down it'll roll down all your windows and eventually your sunroof too ... great on those hot days as you approach the car to let all that hot air out.
 
So i put in my AEM intake today, i punched in on the freeway in 4th, it held 15 the wole time. I loved it

I dont' think too many have payed attention to this, and I could be completely wrong?

But I thnk the majority of fuel cut problems are coming from people with CAI's on their cars. THe Fuel cut is coming from the turbulent air that flows across the MAF(I think?).

That air needs either time to straighten itself out, or something to force it straight, so the MAF can properly measure it.

There are bandaids like the FCDs on the market.

I had a CAI on my car for a while. And I would consistently get Fuel Cut during the cold months. I put the stock airbox on and problems went away. i was able to have a CAI and FCD on and it worked whne the temperature was above 50.

I have my stock airbox on now, and it's been below freezing here in Illinois for the last few days and I haven't hit Fuel cut yet.

As of current, I believe CPE's CAI is the only one that has made an attempt to account for the MAF mounting and housing issues?
 
Just an FYI...
I have had the Mazdaspeed CAI installed now for 3 months...no fuel cut what-so-ever and no CEL's as of yet. Temperatures ranged from 0 degrees F to 40 degrees F over those 3 months. Oh, I should mention the dealership installed it and adjusted the ECU to account for the extra air velocity. I would recommend installing this without hesitaton...
 
Dont forget to take into account the size of the turbo the MS6 has. Efficiency past 18psi probably wouldnt be too good. I would just leave it and wait to upgrade turbo or do more bolt ons.

Completely incorrect info on my motor, most likely a rod bolt and it's still being investigated.
I have a CP-E tuner...

I have the AEM intake, Do you guys think i should go in and get my ECU adjusted to?? Will it make a difference or is it the same thing? Plus, if I did get my ECU adjusted, would it take off the CEL for the downpipe, take it off for good????

No dealer has the ability to adjust the PCM programming to compensate for an intake...They may have updated the software to the newest version, but it has noting to do with the intake..

A diode will fix the cel for your downpipe, I've been CEL free for over 5000 miles..
 
I want to do the diode, but i dnt want to mess with my o2 sensor. And if i do, im scared ill mess it up
