What have you done to your MS3 today?

[Saskatchewan17]

U serious??

Yes. He's completely serious. That stocker looks beautiful. It could defidently hold up to 280+ lb/ft of torque.

Hello, my name is Sarcasm.

LOL! Yea I can't believe that thing was that bad w/ only 32,600 miles. Later this week I will be changing my buddy's stock motor mount and he has over 100,000 miles on his speed3 so I'm interested in seeing what kind of condition that thing is in.

 

[MM BOOST]

LOL wow...it will probably look like a horsehoe bolted to the car with everything in the middle completely deteriorated.

Rubber band tires.

 

[nynhex]

where did you get the plug ?

Home Depot. It's a small steel plug (7/8"). Super-easy mod.

 

[nynhex]

Finished plasti-dipping my front/back M-Blems. It turned out decent but I went a little crazy with the adhesive tape so I need to fix that and touch up a scratch I put in the front emblem.

went to IAG and got only 85% of a tune(sadbanana). Fuel pressure was dropping off after higher rpms and boost creep was limiting what the tuner could do. Found out that I need better fuel pump internals or fuel pump, and also that my stock wastegate cant operate at the level that my car needs it to. He put it like this..."Without a better fuel pump and a larger waste gate...your car is too bad ass for its own good" So he did what he could and maximized drive-ability making it very smooth. He didnt act high and mighty about it and simply explained in detail the issues. The man is a genius. So my next step is to get the pg manifold with the external wastegate and some ptp internals. Then I will be able to get the safe power/drive-ability I want out of the car. gotta pay to play i guess.

Yesterday:

Took my rubber mats inside at work and hosed them off since winter has made them quite messy

Today:

Ordered a Progress rear sway bar and cleaned up the interior!

 

[Biggs]

Pro tuned today at 10... went off without a hitch.

291whp @ ~5700rpm 17psi boost.

the air temp was about 40 degrees so that's gotta be factored in to the total.

^^nice numbers^^

yeah sorry about that glad i was there for moral support (friday)

if you dont want to drop that much cash you could always just get the wastegate by itself. PG sells the Tial 38mm F38 Wastegate for a fraction of the mani/wastegate combo.

^^nice numbers^^

thanks I've had a sh!t-eating grin on my face all day.
