I think I'll just clear coat the primer (it'll be covered by vinyl wrap anyway)... good call, thanks!

I put the spring in ages ago, but I had a 4 port ebcs hooked up at the time, so I think an 8psi spring. I'll double check when I take it apart/clean it up. I attached the most recent log.

I have a lot of things piling up at the moment.. need to sand down the primer and get the hood ready for vinyl wrap. The vinyl wrap came in today, and the RaiderFab full bumper kit came in yesterday (will post pics of the kit after the installation). I'm going to try to wrap the hood on...

Ignored ^^ :) I did some rust removal on my hood today.. sanded four chunks of bubbling paint with 80 grit, filled the holes with fiberblass resin bondo with a couple layers, and sprayed some primer on it. Now I can see a couple spots I didn't sand down well enough, back at it tomorrow. I...

It's been awhile since I updated, but I ordered a new hood latch (only $21 w/ free shipping from China/Walmart) and put that in, fixed my random alarm going off problem! I also ordered the RaiderFab full bumper latch kit because the passenger side keeps coming off. And, currently working on...

Going to need a long list of parts to see that power, it's just a built motor capable of 650. AP, hpfp, full exhaust, intake/exhaust manifolds, etc etc etc...

One set is head studs, other are main studs: From gewgle: 218-4702 (Head Studs): Secures the cylinder head to the engine block. Essential for preventing head gasket failures under high boost. These are Pro Series 8740 chromoly, 12-point studs, typically for 2007-2013 Mazdaspeed 3/6. 218-5402...

Fire away, a lot of knowledgeable people on here. I've had quite a few motors out on my driveway. :D

I took off the hood latch sensor today, tried to ohm it out, but got absolutely nothing on it.. so I just yanked it out. I also removed the extra flaps? on the wheel fenders with a dremel since the front spoiler is in the way, and tightened down all the boost tubes to allow for tuning. Now, I...

yay!

so tapping the intake worked, keeping it simple (stupid) and venting both the bpv/ebcs to the intake pipe has me at 13.6'ish psi boost. I only pulled to 5500 rpm, but the log is attached and looks good to me.

@Enki helped come up with a plan that should fix the overboost. I had a push/pull setup with the CS 3-port, but instead of venting to the TIP, I T'd to the bpv vent/intake manifold. I'm going to tap two ports on the intake piping (aluminum, should be easy) and one run to recirc the BPV and the...

My dad got my car inspected today, blew off a couple boost tubes on a test drive (oops), but the logs look fine... other than maxing out the stock injectors :| I'm pretty sure this was a 0 boost tune, but I hit 19psi, so I might need to check what spring is in the wastegate. I'll check that...
