2008 mazda speed 3
here is how it went
day one i was able to get the down an mid pipes ( 7 hrs i just couldent get the the bolts to come out) short shifter, m m , 6in in dash cd/dvd player, short ram intake. on day two i i got that sub and amp put in were the jack went. and day three i did the fmic ( turbo xs is the sorriest company on the market. i got my box all it had was the core and the pipes. so i called the company say sorry no biggy you will have the other parts in 2 days box to had the coupleings and and clamps. no bolts no mounting brackets no conecter for the powerstearing lines box three finaly had most everything still missing 4 bolts to to mount the core to the brackets is said screw it and went to home dept to get them. i wouldent do buisness with them if the parts are for free)

here is my problem. some times the i hit the gas the car pulls hard has hell. but MOST of the times i hit the gas the power really isent all that great. i honostly dont beleave its boost or fuel cut becouse i can only get to 3rd gear before the speed limet sign gets me. now i am running with the dcs on. but can somebody please tell me were to check? or do. i know the power with the car is always varies but i was under the impression that was couse of the tiny stock intercooler core but i did away with that.
ps yes i undid the battery to reset the ecu.
this is long im sorry but if you can point me in the righ direction. thank you
 
I hear what you're saying, I'm just being a dick don't mind me.

Did you get all the recalls done?
 
Actually you might want to check again! There are at least a couple TSB's out there that pertain to the 08's as well. There's one regarding the fuel pump that I think might be part of the problem you are having.

I meant to say "TSB's" not recalls. sorry.

fuel pump? i know there was a flash to the ecu for that but i think i had that taken care of when i had an oil change done. is there anything ealse or is this something normal? after this many mods and i still have more to go turbo manifold, piggy back, and boot, oil presser, and a/f in put in

Wow! I would hold off on putting anymore MODS for sure until you find out what the cars problem is. I'm sure someone on the forum would be able to better advise on what you should do. I really wish I could help you more :(
 
could be boost leak. You forgot to get a bpv, your stock bpv, which sucks ass, might be leaking
