https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/versatune-big-turbo-basemap.4533/ A good place to start. I do hope you have the Versatuner full version because you must have it to do all the tables that will need to changed. And spend many hours researching here and everywhere to get up to speed...

If the passion is low or nonexistent then yes consider that one a lemon and cut your losses. Maybe look for another with impeccable ownership facts and try again.

Nice feedback! I've my stock speed 6 California! System and was going to give to whomever I sell (maybe) my 6 roller chassis if I decide too. Now I know cash is king. So glad to see some positive $ back.

Think carefully and make a budget on parts now. Then it's just a decision on dollars. Sell or keep. Takes passion to own these speeds.

Brought tears to my eyes.. My usual owner of tire shop in our closest small town always took care of me, great BS talker too. Well he had his 17 year old son use 1/2" drive battery torque wrench reinstall wheel lugs. Sadly I was BSing with owner, and drove off "satisfied with the job" Torque...

Can't say either of my stock or 340 hp 3's have that issue. Now if you ask about my vw rabbit first year usa model and a rebuild with dodge omni 1800cc kit, stroker rods/pistons & dial up the mechinical fuel injector pump rod. The front side crank up windows would pop out of upper tracks from...

Zip ties in a figure 8 pattern work well too. Really cheap and frustrating until you figure out the origami.

Yes the divorced waste gate pipe the smaller of the two in the old style can cause issues with wastegate control if you are running a larger turbo. My tune by Damond needed to have tuner add more control of over boost at top end by using a Ford focus style of adaptive throttle plate and...

Speed Performance has done 2 sets of mine. Not cheap, but if a injector fails disappointing. So out of 8 and 3 were bad. Now while it's a crap shoot, ebay has some vendors that supposedly clean, test, new filters. On my last set (3 failed) bought 4 that way. Fortunately the poker hand of 4 I was...

Best to create a thread for your specific trouble. Then it's easier for others to help, future searches if a cure is found to help the next person. You have any way to get logs? Here that's important, yes you might think well that's something for after running. No long term ownership will...

I should mention that after I was running the S3.....for about 500 miles enjoying the boost. The old tired 140k motor leak down numbers went bad, especially at 5-7 degrees ATDC. Values were before = 10-15% to +30% on two cylinders. Perfect time for a full rebuild!

When I bought a S3 they recommended a oil line/filter. https://bnrsupercars.wpcomstaging.com/mazdaspeed-36-custom-oil-supply-line-built-engines-only/ I had a problem with a small oil leak from the turbo area hotside housing flange bolts. I called to ask if I could add a restriction on oil line...

Home Depot sleigh runs?

I agree, I should mention... I am the only driver...Backseat passenger not a fun ride in mine. Mine has CF hood, rear hatch and fiberglass rear body shell, no bumper support. So ride height will be different too all things being equal.

Thank you for the update/feedback on your fix. Please think about a custom tune. You will never think the money was a waste after the results.

Welcome to this great community. I will happily watch your story unfold!

Well.... I'm a old man 66 with a typical back that lived a hard life. So since I still have a stone stock 08 speed 3 let's just say, it's much harder. Night and day harder. Here's a example: So in my first speed 6 with slammed springs it was which divit, pot hole, driveway, speed bump would...

https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/pjb-not-a-sandwich-here-is-whats-inside.11901/ I opened up the PJB to show a wire I had installed. Clam shell and screws it will open up.

https://mazdaspeeds.org/index.php?threads/bilstein-b16-pss9-ms3-07-install.11808/ Here somewhere I have before and after 4 corner height measurements.

A surprise I found was a very old likely installed just bought from Mazda.. wires were spliced into loom harness left side under dash. Followed back and found this. Very first style of alarm with cellular radio access. Was interconnected to key switch... it didn't actually cause a fault. Was...
