Mental Addiction Mazda 3 turbo kit?

[ddogg777]

Well guys, it looks like there is a company that already has upgraded the Mazda3 chip:

"We do have an ECU upgrade available for your application. The ECU upgrade does require that the factory ECU be sent to us for modification. You must purchase the upgrade package before sending the ECU to us for the modification. Suggested retail is $399.00, and the part number is 65002. The ECU upgrades are all done per the application, in other words, do all the modifications you intend on doing before you get the ECU upgraded. That way the program can be set up for the specific modifications. Hp gains would be dependant on the extent of modifications."

That's not a bad price for all those who just want to benefit from a few bolt ons. Insano, get all your stuff on and send your ecu to jet chip.

ddogg, you're an idiot. That's the stupid "jet chip"...those don't do anything. Anyone who knows anything abouts cars knows that. You shou;'ve read the thread in its entirety.

 

[insanoman2005]

last time i checked at protegegarage.com they weren't makin any products only sellin stuff for MAM and many other vendors.

well try getting your head out of MAM's ass and you'll see they make custom molded in-dash monitors for the proteges. It may not be a turbo kit but these guys are a legitimate business and don't front like a REAL shop to get customers.

Perfworks will hook you up!

from what I read he wasn't affiliated with any of those companies. The way Wagner mentioned it was that Andy built everythign and Perf was just there to work on the AEM. He took some peoples money and split...you're going to penalize someone who didn't have a clue about it?? lame.

I thought I did..hold on I'll go read it again...

 

[ddogg777]

Wait, I DID read the whole thread and it ends praising JET. Geez, I was just trying to help...

 

[brealmp3]

yea my head is in beau's ass.. but wait they are selling the MAM kit, surely they wouldn't sell a bad product....

shhh....we have a conspiracy MAM is out to get insanoman

I wasn't trying to mark anyone, let me change my post...

 

[insanoman2005]

vendors sell products all the time wether they back them or not. P-garage also sells HiBoost. personally I'd rather buy a turbo kit with some sort of actualy EMS instead of some sort of incomplete hobbiest's kit.

 

[brealmp3]

wish i could have beau's hobby. but instead i get stuck postwhoring for MAM while he gets to have all the fun!!

imo that is one hell of a hobby >>> Q.what do you do for fun?? A.oh i just build turbo kits

yall trying to get this moved to the dumpster... chill out.

Insano, I think it is unfair what you say about Jet and their chipping. I think if they reflashed the ecu or desoldered and replaced the eeprom then you'd have a completely different tune (or whatever you guys that know so much about cars call it) for your vehicle. If someone doesn't have luck with chipping then it is most likely because the new program or chip doesn't change enough from stock.

 

[insanoman2005]

if this thread got moved to the dumpster 6 more would pop up just like it in 24hrs...these MAM threads are like the crabs...they're never really gone.

in some cases people that do things as hobbies are better than "professionals" (whether or not that is the case in this instance... just figured i'd state that fact)

you will not find ANYONE with any PROVEN gains from a JET ecu. I've actually heard of peoples cars getting slower. All they do is dump extra fuel into the motor at part throttle. They will never put into writing exactly what they do or make any sort of power gain promise...not even a 1% increase. If they claim to "reprogram" your ecu...how are you going to know? You'll go to the dyno right? No'one I've ever heard of or seen on the net has ever shown any kind of gain with their products....they are actually kind of a joke for people in the know.

This is very true, I do alot of stuff myself because I don't trust the professionals. I majored in Mech Eng only because I like it as a hobby (that's what I honestly tell people), I would never want to work in a cubicle...

aggreed, I like to paint as a hobby but I don't charge people $4500 for a painting that destory their car (potentially).

He has NO liability if something he sells is faulty because he's not an authentic company. It would be different if he was...for now he's just joe blow off the street selling you stuff. While people have had good success with him it's not assured like it would be if he were legit.

p.s. I'm going to make up some company name and start charging more for my paintings since people will think I'm a professional by misleading them with the name.

Oh the drama!! Insano..chill out. Give him time to develop this ecu/chip and see what happens. If you want backing, then wait for someone else to develop it. No one told you to order from Mental Addiction. If you want a chip so bad, go get a bag of Lays..I bet you can't just have one.

Are they not a REAL business though? You were making quite a stink about that...
They did mention that in some cases they actually desolder and replace the eeprom, I bet you could tell then. But your are right, I have no experience with them, they have been around for a while though. Personally, I don't want anyone messing with my stock stuff, that is why I'm having Beau do the plug'n'play harness with the AEM for my car (removeable). I hope you don't jump on me now for mentioning his name, but he is the only one that can do it that I know of, he really does have the skillz that people speak of... and he lives just a few miles from me.

 

[insanoman2005]

I've seen Wagner use a P&P AEM in a mp3. the harness wasnt 100% complete but it was direct P&P.

p.s. I'm not looking to shell out $4500+ to Jet chips for a product. If I were I'd want to know they were a legit business.
