Yea, so how do you stay out of boost in 5th? Just stay below a certain speed and RPM?bazooka joe said:i think it was tony who told me you can't be boostin in 5th gear...and who know's what the afr was....? you build it right, tune it right and drive it right, you'll be fine...!
Ya, and who puts a bolt through the wiring harnass?? Lmao, I've never seen that before!bazooka joe said:Oh, and he called you about the PCM, right after I had the bright Idea to just follow the harness..and found it rather quickly as you probably would assume...i got a nasty cut on that metal sheild it bolts to though.
ya, that is the sharpest piece of metal...i think they do that on purpose so you don't mess with the ECU..hahaha!

terbow said:no offense, he deserved it. 11psi in 5th at wot? he mine as well have just dropped a grenade in the tb.
its well known on here at least, u DO NOT boost in 5th, especially full load and 11 psi.
you can boost like 1 psi for a sec cause its hard not to but, just dont gun it goin into 5th, use like 30-40% pedal and a light touch and its not hard at all to stay out of boost.
snowblazin said:So basically, as long as I'm light on my feet, I should be fine. lol.
EDIT: You make out ok last night?
Don't worry man, your secret's safe w/ me! (peep)terbow said:yea all is well. my money actually came through instead of fri so im ordering alot of s*** today. p.s. dont tell anyone what im doin.![]()
That is everything you need. The only thing not listed on there is the oil cooler.dinux said:Sorry to keep bothering you about this setup and what not. Thanks for posting those pages with the part numbers and such. Just out of curiousity, do I need everything within those five pages except the body stuff just for the turbo setup? Do you have a better list of everything needed that is more specific? If not, do you know where I can find a specific list? I am going to do some searching but I thought I would ask first. Thanks!
Thanks man, I appreciate it. I do have a lot of good help around me, so I think I'll be ok. BTW, Tony, I checked the turbo parts list again, and it says right on there the banjo bolt is 14mm x 1.5mm, DOH!Moeed said:I have done a full swap, lemme know if you need some help. Everything is just like an msp for the most part minus the ecu.
OH yea, it was a huge pain in the ass![]()
snowblazin said:So I went to Mazda this morning, and the "gentleman" at the counter told me he couldn't lookup the part #'s I need w/o the vin #. So, I called my girl Shalon down in maryland and she hooked me up with the part #'s w/o my vin. Imagine that, the service guy was just being lazy... I marched back in there part #'s in hand, put the neanderthal in his place and proceeded to purchase my parts. I also ordered the banjo fitting and bolt, and check valve from Shalon. Those parts should be here tomorrow. Plan of attack for tonight:
Finish removing old gasket from intake mani
Finish prying off the oil pan
Retap exhaust mani stud hole
Mount Intercooler
Install exhaust mani/turbo/downpipe - possible
finish installing the boost gauge and turbo timer - possible
I plan on running the water and oil feed lines for the turbo before putting the intake mani back on, so it's nice and easy. Since I'm waiting on the banjo fitting for the water line, I hope to get the intake mani on tomorrow night provided the parts come in, then I can start mounting the ic piping. Also, since I'm not running the oil return through the crank girdle and am using the oil pan instead, I have to get a nipple of sorts to put in the end of the return line, then find a hose to run from what will prob be a 4an nipple to the 8an oil pan tap. Home Depot or Lowes should have the oil nipples and fittings, no?
