What have you done to your MS3 today?

[STRICK-]

I got a pkg in the mail from wheeldude and then i stared at my car and pretended they were on there (boom05)

18 x 8 +35 FTW

Washed and waxed after my oil change. Went to Penzoil Platinum synthetic since Mobil 1 was empty at Auto Zone, been that way for months. 5100 miles on my baby now, and second oil change. Since the first was free I waited for my second to go synthetic. Seems a little smoother, but barely. Meguirers spray on NXT Tech Wax worked nicely in the 36F weather.

installed my ms3 springs + camber as well as my cs test pipe. very excited. gains are great and springs still have yet to settle.

installed a custom turbo inlet:

Getting everything out was a b**** and a half, but putting it back together was easy. I broke a vac line clip and had to do some rigging to fix it and make it work right.
*while I was at it, replaced the stock recirc tubing with blue tubing to match everything else that is now blue.

I will say that there is a minor gain in torque/hp that you can only feel if you floor it and get on it. But YES if anyone wants to know the turbo pools faster and YES it makes it louder. There is a jet-like sound of sucking in that makes the cai sound twice as loud. It drowns out my greddy type-s bov a bit but that thing is still loud as heck. A great mod if you want to do this, pair it up with an intake for sure!

Looks like an SU boost tube you got there..

I have those also! But the su boost tube isn't tapered like this one. This is 2.5 inch at the aluminume pipe side and after the curve it tapers to 2.0 inches where it mates up with the turbo itself.

here are the boost tubes to compare sizing to the above picture of the tube which is tapered and smaller at the turbo side:

Now I see it. Nice mod none the less! Waiting on cp-e's turbo inlet, pre-production unit looks sweet.

This morning was supposed to be rainy and nasty, so I took the MS3 today to keep the mud off the Club Sport. Turned out it didn't rain a drop.
Grrr...
