    Should I replace my downpipe gasket when upgrading? + tuning question

    I have a turboxs downpipe and testpipe I plan to install soon, but want to avoid any leaks. For those wondering, yes I have upgraded HPFP internals. My car (2009 gen 1) has 155k miles on it, with I believe the original downpipe gasket and exhaust gaskets. When I bought the DP, the guy threw in...

    Mazdaspeed 3 Production/Registry List

    One thing I would note is that there were both silver and grey gen 1 Mazdaspeed3s. My buddy has a silver one, and I have a grey one. Didn’t see those color options on the spreadsheet so I figured I’d mention it.

    eBay Turbo Manifold? Need guidance choosing a manifold

    I figured as much. I was still hoping for a photo before I pull the trigger on it all. I couldn't find midnight racing, maybe they went under as well... :'(

    eBay Turbo Manifold? Need guidance choosing a manifold

    What color is the TIP/Intake and filter? Can you send some photos on here? I’m unable to view it using the link you sent earlier.

    eBay Turbo Manifold? Need guidance choosing a manifold

    Darn. This is a tough choice. I’ve already had tuning issues before, so I’m really hoping to not ever see those again. Your intake is super cheap. Awa also made a good point of less clamps being beneficial. One less spot for unmetered air to sneak in. Does your price include shipping?

    eBay Turbo Manifold? Need guidance choosing a manifold

    This is true am I really going to notice the difference? I’ll be tuned for an intake and DP + Test pipe.

    eBay Turbo Manifold? Need guidance choosing a manifold

    What is the advantage of a full 3" intake over a 3" and TIP? This seems like a good deal.

    eBay Turbo Manifold? Need guidance choosing a manifold

    I'm trying to find a 3" intake for my speed. Does anyone know where to get a HTP intake? Can't seem to find any online. I'm leaning towards a JBR Tru-3.0 wide path aluminum intake if I can't find one. Also, can I use my stock MAF sensor with a 3" intake? Side note: I wouldn't mind a 3.5"...

    Catless downpipe advice - TurboXS vs eBay downpipe

    I wouldn’t agree with catalytic converters not hurting performance in any way. While usually minor, they do limit exhaust gasses. This isn’t a performance issue for most people, but the higher horsepower builds will see power gains. I am registered out of state in South Dakota, so no emissions...

    Catless downpipe advice - TurboXS vs eBay downpipe

    Oh really? I am running my stock exhaust with a resonator delete. In my case, I'm not looking to upgrade my exhaust yet, just a downpipe and testpipe for now. Do you happen to have any clips of the car with the TurboXS DP and stock resonator delete exhaust? Would I be fine at least fitment-wise...

    Catless downpipe advice - TurboXS vs eBay downpipe

    I'm in the market for a catless downpipe for my 2009 MS3. Ideally, one with reduced bungs that didn't throw a CEL would be great. I have one guy who will sell me a used TurboXS downpipe for $170. The other option is an eBay downpipe, new for $110ish shipped to my door. What is the move? I hear...

    [SOLVED] Radiator/Cooling Fan Intermittent/Not Working

    Update: I bought a new aftermarket 09 mazda3 fan online since it was a lot cheaper. I then took and tested it against my fan by turning on the A/C while the car was on. The fan should be running constantly at a medium speed when the A/C is on. The new fan runs like it should, and my old one is...

    Low boost on CX-7 turbo in Mazdaspeed3

    I have an old speed3 turbo, but it has a little bit of shaft play and has about 151K miles on it. Would you recommend rebuilding it or just getting a new one? If I need to get a new one, do I get brand new OEM or are used ones ok? I'm new to this all so I apologize if these questions come...

    You said the A/C turned the fan all the way on, right? Not just here and there?

    [SOLVED] Radiator/Cooling Fan Intermittent/Not Working

    I’m in a very similar boat as you were. I have an 09 Mazdaspeed3 with 154k miles, just over 2k on the new engine I installed. The other day, it was 90 out and I was in the inn n out drive thru, car started getting hotter. I knew the fan turns on around 217ish, so I ignored it as it climbed up...

    Low boost on CX-7 turbo in Mazdaspeed3

    Also, is it harmful to run the CX-7 turbo in a Mazdaspeed3? Will I be doing damage, or just not making as much power?
