No but I know that BlkZoomZoom posted it in a thread. Couldn't find it but I'm sure if you call the dealer they will get them. Might be sealing bands and not sleeves.
 
well my brother has one, I have the spicy one, (after I had totaled my first spicy) and my brother got a sunset silver one with a blown engine and a ton of mods, but the guy kinda shortcutted everything so we've been fixing it up the last year or so (before I got my fmic in and before my dad cracked the front lip, once i give them a good wash and wax this year after I figure out this problem I will post a pic up of them both finally clean,) and they put the engine from my first msp into my brother's, but ya, here is a pic of them from last year lol, it's nice, because I can work on both of them, and I can't wait to get his driving soon, you get a lot of looks driving 2 msps around at the same time

well, just tried to start my brother's car with the MAF unplugged, same s***, I just got a check so I will be able to go and just buy one of those code readers, with all the times I use them I mine as well get one so I don't have to scramble around trying to find one all the time.

Try another MAF sensor. We're both in the same boat, and I just can't figure it out... lol

Here's my plight...

Removed trans to do the clutch. Put it all back together, car ran great for 2 minutes, then started bogging.
Had a code for the primary o2. Put a brand new Mazda primary o2 in it. Same s***.
Removed the battery and tray and triple checked my work. All sensors plugged in, no vac leaks, etc, looked over the harness for any damage, and everythings good.
Everything looks right. All Data is completely useless, by the way.
The car drove in my shop just fine, and now this s***. Obviously, I figurd it was something I ****** up, but everything seems to be ok.
I'm completely stumped

No way! Has to be a mistake on their part. Its 2 rubber bands basically. They cannot cost more than the turbo water return elbow.

Try this: 0000-88-C95 (found it in the how to section)

damn that's exspensive, I didn't see it today with just a quick check of my garage but will look tomorrow when I'm out there half the day.

Dude, I SYN (s***-you-not) that is the price he attached to the diagram/illustration that was faxed to me. Wish I had a scanner to post it, but if you look on the MSP parts pdf, page 4, picture of the SMIC you'll see it's the round 'caps' by the inlet & outlet connectors that the dealer parts department guy quoted for the $71.49.

However, an on-line search of the PN 0000-88-C95, shows up as: GASKET,INTERCOOLER / Part# 000088C95 for $9.79 but shipping is flat $13.00

HTF can the markup be that much?! Or he was looking at the wrong piece...

ya I don't know what the hell I could have done wrong, all i did was relocate the MAF and change the calipers on the car, I will try that tomorrow, the damn thing is so annoying

hey, for my caliper replair kit, for the front 2, (which all they are, are the dust boots and the little O-ring that goes in the caliper piston thing, basically a little rubber lol, he said they were $73, I got them online for $3 each side.. never go to the dealership, look online, look at some parts sites just to get the correct part number as long as it shows the msp, this site is pretty good for that, then just look around and see what you can find,http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/search/parts.php?N=11062+1667+4294965328&ddKeyword=

I was doubting the dealer parts guy and figured he was thinking of a different part. I would just go by to pick them up versus paying for shipping. I did not even have them on my smic when I swapped out the plastic pipes for hardpipes. And I don't use them on my CustomMSP smic.
 
*update*

Alright, had some downtime, so I went out to the car to crank it and troubleshoot some more.
Battery was dead.
Pulled it out, threw it on the charger for an hour, then slapped it back in.
Cranked the car and it idled PERFECT. Let it warm up, took it on a mile drive, and everything was great.
Came back, waited an hour, started it up, it was hard to start. Checked the battery, and it had 170cca, basically its discharged.
So, what its coming to seem is its a voltage supply issue. After I started it the 2nd time, I held the throttle open a little bit and let it warm back up, and let the alternator do its work. After about a minute @ 2,200rpms I let off the throttle and BAM... perfect idle, acceleration, no MAF codes, etc.

Speedaddiction20... check your battery.
