Dude... I'm beginning to think you want to blow it up...
no, same WGA won't work.
As long as you tune it safe you should be fine. as for boost level, depends which WGA you run (obviously)

Go post some more teaser pics. (flame)
win.Go get a MSP
I vote you save the turbo money, go forged FIRST.
Go get a MSP
build up another block. then you could do the swap in a weekend.I agree that would be the best route, but it's my daily lol. I'm just playing with the idea right now for when I swap the steedspeed. Maybe I'll just spend the money on a custom s-pipe instead.

No ty. If it happens, a turbo on MP3 > MSP... (shrug)
/strolls out of MSP section
Yea that's how I would do it. Money is getting tight though so it's in the distant future. Forget I mentioned the 28rs, I can't afford to buy that now anyway lol.
So wrong you don't even know.
you mean faster? that means ours is more precise.Better steering ratio ftw.![]()

I find it funny that you're considering steering ratio to be the factor that trumps a turbo.If you say so. I understand your logic, but everyone I've ever seen/heard talkin about the two give the MP3 a huge 1-up.

So, with that said, the steering ration is "quicker" meaning you can turn it easier and thus faster even though you need to turn the wheel a little more to get the same radius (but this is small.. about 10 degrees of the steering wheel or 0.03 revolutions). I guess the meaning "quicker" is a little deciving.
ya, I just hooked up the windshield wiper fluid tube to a small garden spray nozzle thing that sprays 180 and double sided taped it to the back of the reinforcement bar pointed at the SMIC (if you have a FMIC I guess you'd have to put it somewhere in the bumper area, but ya it's just a quick and really easy DIY thing, and then I just put water in the windshield wiper fluid reservoir (distilled/filtered though) and instead of manually spraying my windshield (since I don't have spray nozzle in the CF hood) I spray my IC.. it's a nice little thing, easy.. that and the "ram air" scoop I put in under the reinforcement bar going to my SMIC helps out quite a bit sometimes.. easy(kinda, the ram air thing was kinda a pain) things to do that helpahh I gotcha. Id never seen that before. so just spray water at high boost for a cooling effect?
I don't think you've ever driven an MP3, so how do you know?
Better steering ratio ftw.
*Ok, I'm not trying to start a pissing contest, haha. Sorry Wagon.
I'll try to be ~50% on topic, as it's not technically a MSP, lol.
Trying to get a new front strut bar.May be my first GT Spec part, hopefully... Probably will start a chain reaction for GT Spec stuff tho, lol. May order some vent visors/rain guards today as well...
