Install Intake, BPV and Turbo Inlet all at once, or space out the installations?

[gizram84]

I decided to finally put some upgrades on my MS3 and after researching everything, I purchased the HPS Short Ram Intake, the COBB Turbo Inlet Pipe and the Forge Bypass Valve.

I was originally planning on doing it on one day. Start early and hopefully get everything done in a few hours.

Should I install all of these parts at once or install them one at a time and let the car adjust to each one individually?

Just do it all at once. You're not hurting anything.

It would be less of an adjustment issue and more of a diagnosis issue if one part were to fail or be installed improperly

By that I mean if you start loading up your car with a ton of mods (not saying that's what you're doing) and an issue pops up, which one did it come from?

Your list, however, is pretty small and somewhat localized (meaning connection points are alltogether like the intake and inlet). So you'd know if you start throwing codes related to intake issues you can just go down the line and see if anything came loose or apart on the intake. An intake coming loose is not uncommon after install because of the engine moving around an such, so its good pratcice to retighten things after a few miles anyway.

The bpv will take no time at all, you couldn't chug a beer faster if you tried. The inlet will probably be the most time consuming. If you want to do all 3 at once, go right ahead. I'm just trying to show you the other end of the spectrum as to why you might not want to

Get'er done!! the most time consuming part is going to be the TIP...rest you can do in 10 minutes. IF that.

sounds good. i'll try to post some pics of the installations. probably in about 2 weeks.

Damn....I was thinking northeast as in northeast africa, like egypt or something

 

[gizram84]

Egyptians have a bigger problem on their hands than installing performance parts in their mazda's...

 

[Domino81]

Yeah. That's pretty broad, do you have a home state? Or are you claiming the whole of the northeast to call your own?

I did them all at once, I would make sure to do the TIP and SRI at the same time. I had/have had absolutely no issues.
