What have you done to your MSP today?

i just really pushed my car for the first time since i put it back together. was pulling like hell then there was a loud "POP" and i had no power. luckily i was on my street so i limped it home. i managed to pop the couplers on both ends of my hot pipe. 6.5psi of fury lol
 
You gotta torque those fuckers down man. Lol. Same thing happened to me though i had lije ONE worm clamp on that broke...
Im probabky boosting closer to 8 wih the atp....
 
I installed a Greddy Profec B Spec II to go with my ATP. Why you ask? Because I want a solid 9 psi with minimal spiking, and I still haven't dialed the controller in yet so my ATP has been boosting anywhere between 6 and 9. Maybe I'm crazy, but I like to play it safe.
 
well just went to try and limp my car into the garage... and now it won't ******* start. it cranked and cranked the first try, the 2nd try it turned over but died immediately. need to borrow a code scanner and find out what the bad news is :\

Sounds almost exactly like my car except it was missing four bolts total, the same two on cylinder 1 though. New ARP studs and fel-pro triple layer gasket fixed that.

jacked up the car today, sprayed my front sway bar bushings. went for a test drive and they're quiet :D i shoulda done this 20k miles ago lol. now i wonder how long it lasts
 
I still have a few worm clamps since putting in my old hiboost kit almost 8yrs ago holding over 25psi mostly with the aid of some hairspray (still tacky) :)
 
Oil and filter change, lubed bushings, cleaned the interior, emptied trunk, checked clamps, adjusted BOV, and hung a festive air freshener(dance)
 
So, here is an update on my car issues...
I was driving my car and came home, lifted the hood and saw smoke. So my fiance pulled the hot plate cover off and low and behold my stock manifold is cracked, 3 cracks actually. I do not know if this will cause the car to act like it has been. I have been told by Mazda that that won't happen. Other mechanics have told me it would because there is an exhaust leak. So I am going to get the steedspeed one when I get my tax $ and hopefully that will fix the codes too. If not, then I guess I will pay $100 diagnostic fee to get it looked at. What other items should I purchase when I get the steedspeed manifold?

For now, I am stuck driving a 5.0 Mustang. I miss my car, my stereo system, and its easy handling, but the Mustang SURE is FAST!! LOL
Thanks in advance for your help! :)

It isn't always a bad sensor, sometimes the sensor is dirty and sometimes the connector can come loose, that was the case on my car. If it does need to be replaced it isn't hard but you have to pull two of the timing cover bolts out to replace the crank position sensor. Cam position sensor is right on the valve cover. Both were dirty on my car and it can't hurt to clean them off.

Unless they are LARGE cracks, you shouldn't be seeing a noticeable amount of smoke. Make sure all of your gaskets, seals, and lines are in good shape. Also climb under the car and look at the bottom of the turbo and let us know if there is any oil on the bottom. Good luck :)
 
ok folks i have 2 cel codes. one i knew about, one i didnt. te first is
p0140: o2 sensor not working(not plugged in duh its not working)
