What have you done to your MSP today?

yeah it drives fine otherwise. It doesnt it do it in first second or fifth. It usually does not do it when i am leaving a light it only seems to be when i am already goin
 
last night the valet told me i had a nice srt4
(squinty)
i told him it's a mazda, and got a
(squinty)
 
Removed more bolts from my motor... ITS ALMSOT OUT! :D just like 1-2 bolts left then the trans and block is disconnected and it can be pulled.
 
Put in GlowShift A/F gauge, boost gauge, and voltmeter... But, while replacing all the vacuum lines the nipple broke off my BPV :'( Was planning on replacing it when I put in hard pipes it just might be sooner than later.

I have a Forge WGA to replace also but right now feeling low. (bang)

Problem is that thanks to my big mouth and complaining to Mazda Canada about the local stealership I am going to have to look elsewhere for parts or get the wife to order them for me!
 
i went to mazda today and was looking to get some factory exhaust gaskets to cut the inside out of for my apexi n1. they are like $9.50 a piece! and i need 4! rock auto here i come!

but while i was there i asked about a exhaust manni. mine is cracked but i will try and get a steedspeed or thunder manni. but anyways long story short, the factory manni is still $1780!!!!

1 question, 1 point.

Question: Can you run the car without a BPV (n00b question I know) and what's the dangers? (by no BPV I mean, plugging the hole up or running it open) I'll explain why I ask when I'm answered (no I am not currently running this setup).

Yeah, I priced a new steering wheel for the MSP. Still nearly 1000 bucks. Priced a P5 wheel, just over 700 bucks. Then I priced an MSM wheel since it's a similar design... over 1000 bucks. My wife wants me to have an airbag otherwise I'd scoop up an aftermarket wheel. Anyone know someone who's selling a stock MSP wheel, P5 wheel, MSM wheel, or 2004 ish Miata wheel for relatively cheap? I have the airbag module. My wheel looks like ass where Mazda decided to paint the wheel.
 
with a hole, you cant boost and will probably stall alot
with a plug you will just get compressor surge but then you need something to cap the vacuum line so u dont have a leak

yeah, sure, you can... and you'll probably smoke your turbo in 10K miles. rally cars do it, because then they don't lag between shifts, its just HORRIBLE for your turbo. you keep stuffing air in the charge pipes when the throttle is closed... imagine the stresses of you trying to breath out into a plastic bottle with a 1/8" hole in it... thats what you're asking your turbo to do.
