The only thing that my dealer has is Mazdaspeed key-chains, pens, hats and shirts, and a couple thing fo rthe Miata.
Why would a fellow enthusiast even want to play w/ us like that, it's leaving me blue-wrenched.
Dude, follow through
Next time, tell you what you do....
You see the product(s), think, investigate @ store (ask questions/read labels). Once the product has been identified, GET YOUR CAMERA!!! Take good, legible pictures. Scan, download, ask someone if you don't know how. Post pictures @ the SAME time as your post describing what you saw the day you went in to work with your Mom. Then start meaningful thread about the capabilities and ideas on how to install it.
Please don't tease.

Hey guys..
Im new here just bought my MSP 2 days ago.
Just thought id introduce myself and give my insight on the mazdaspeed parts issue.
Im afraid I dont have much info but it maybe just a glimpse of hope.
I was talking to the parts guys I "kinda" know at my dealer when I purchased the car. I asked if MS was coming out with any other parts for the car. He says " oh im not sure". I then proceed to tell him about the rumors of more parts coming out including the boost controller. He then looks at me very confusingly and says " oh well.. uhh we're not supposed to say anything yet". And with a weird smile pats me on the shoulder and walks away.
I know its not much but hey... sounds rather promising.

I'll tell you what. This is how sure that mazda isn't selling a "mazdaspeed" boost controller. If they do start selling one, I'll buy the first person who takes a photo of it and brand new MSP. Mazda knows the engine can't handle much more boost. Any of you that think otherwise, you need to do a little more research on this motor like the rest of us here have. You are just making yourself, look stupid.
If i know Mazda.. and i think i know them pretty well, they would 1st make a part to reduce Boost before they would ever increase it. In their eyes more boost is bad boost especially if they get the bill when the engine starts hurtin. Not to say that the engine wouldn't be safe @ 9 psi, Mazda just aint gonna risk it.
Maybe Mazdaspeed would, but it wouldn't be warrantied, and it would cost a hell of alot more than any of the extremely compitent controllers that are already out there.

Don't forget, this is published on the Mazda web site:
"Soon you'll be able to purchase some of the same MAZDASPEED competition parts available to racers, plus a new upcoming line of performance-enhancing parts and accessories for street use."
Now in terms of getting photos from within MNAO. Well, I have been in the building and they use swipe cards to access all doors after the foyer. Security is pretty anal, more so than Ford offices where you can just walk in and get to the person or meeting. Further, photograph taking at ANY automotive facility is difficult. We have not been allowed to photograph our line side bin and inventory solutions at plants (GM, Ford, AAI etc). Now it might be bulls***, but I can imagine Colin's Mom telling him no-way to photos... and he is hardly going to push the issue with the way he is treated on this board.

It's been mentioned before, but I'll rehash.
Mazda Knows the engine will take 9 psi safely, and that at 12 psi you'll see damage after time.
It would be in Mazda's best interest financially, especially since they can't be making much money on the Speed as it is, to release the car with a lower psi then it can safely handle, then release the boost controller as a Mazdaspeed product. This makes the customer happy, gives Mazdaspeed a viable product, and give Mazda some money, and good press for their new Mazdaspeed line.
If this was the case, not saying it is, but it's a really good business decision......kinda srewing us in a way making it so we have to buy the controller and all

Yes the FS motor can handle 9 psi safley. But that is the limit of the motor. So why would a car company inrease the boost and push the vehicle to the threshold? It just does not make any sense. Big Ben is correct he just is very blunt about it......but he is correct. And releasing the boost controller as better business??..well if you look at it like that then why did not mazda release the car with 9 psi??? That would have been much better. Because then the car would have a higher HP , better times, better stats ect and they would be selling a 20,000 car that has 25,000 performance stats. So mazda aint stupid. If they were to release this car with 9psi they would have done it initially when they were being sold and released the "inflated" stats in the press kits so all the journalists could hype up the MSP.
it's not better business if the engines start blowing up no. But, if they want MAzdaspeed to have a real impact, they are going to have to release something more then stickers, and some CAI's or something. A boost controller would be real nice. Who's to say they will push it all the way to 9? We don't even really know what the stock psi is yet.
I'm just saying, that after every stunt Mazda has pulled in the past, I wouldn't doubt they reduce the PSI on purpose. not saying they did because as you say, it would be kind of like shooting themselves in the foot in one respect.

hmmm. Remember the mags that test drove the MSP. They said the reason why the boost was limited so low as to protect the tranny. How many tranny's do you think 50 more HP will shatter. Just my thoughts.
