that's a good question. I know there are multiple threads about it but I never drove my car long enough to find out..lol. I soon as I got my FMIC, I did a dual BOV/BPV setup right away and left the turkey behind

I still get it with the dual setup on my car.

took off the exhaust to the cat back, having trouble with the o2 sensor. Gonna try to heat the pipe around it tomorrow and see if that helps. Noticed my front brake are locked sitting up on jack stands. gonna have to look into that

After three days of dealing with broken studs and bolts I finally got my steedspeed manifold, Turbohoses V2 SMIC w/hard pipes, Nology Hotwires, Vibrant vacumblock, AEM Wideband and AEM Booster Guage/controller installed. Talk about blood and sweat I'm all cut up.

Great. Now I have to go paint my battery bracket red. Another thing to add to the list Nice engine. Very clean.

LOL, I only did that because the previous owner had painted it blue.

Down loaded and installed the SSAFC Map (summermap) seems to be running ok.

Mine is not an MSP but I have a doubt. I have the 2003.5 wing and I notice it kinda shakes at idle and when running at around 40mph. Is this normal or maybe it just need more tightening? I have AWR engine mounts so I think is the culprit...

About to order rotora's cross drilled and slotted rotors with Hawk HPS brake pads and ss lines. Anyone else running that set up or have any other recomendations before I do haha. Also trying to decide on an intake. Ahh decisions decisions.

Just get blanks.

cross drilled seems like over kill to me, heard alot of good about ss lines, hope to have mine on before friday

 

[blackmsp003]

True I prolly will go with the blanks and just ss lines. Should be plenty as a daily driver.

Drilled rotors don't perform any better than blanks... Slotted rotors has some value, but only on track cars. SS brake lines is a great upgrade tho.

 

[blackmsp003]

Yea I have heard the SS brake lines make a big difference.

then why in gods name do manufacturers like porsche waste their time?

 

[fishdonotbounce]

Because a porsche is a porsche. A protege is a protege. Absolutely no reason for slotted or drilled. I got them because they are cheap on ebay and look good.

But you won't look as cool. What is the price difference? Break it down for us.

 

[IggyPop]

I think the cross drilled would cost be 200$. So what. you'll have them for a very long time.
