Hey Ozy...wheres the rest of the thread...you cant post a pic of your car and call it a day :P

Found this link while searching on the net : http://am.mazdaserviceinfo.com/mazdaesi/index?page=login I just registered by clicking on the ''start here'' link (I used the same login and password as my MSF.org account), and got access to all MAZDA workshop manual (and more) from 1996 to 2017

LOL...give me some more cash and free time and I will make this 500hp build a thing of the past Right now its freakin cold here (-20C this morning)...the minute the weather gets more decent, I have a list of issue I need to take care of : - Leaking valve cover gasket - Leaking turbo oil drain...

I was in the same boat...liked the exhaust tone of my setup, but wanted less drone in the cabin...I insulated pretty much all the hatch area (except the hatch door) with Roxul insulation, but it didnt make much of a difference :(

A J-pipe helped a lot for my cruising drone...I have a calculator sheet if you want to measure the J-pipe needed on your setup Pics of my exhaust line (the stock setup had two exit...went with a one exit setup + the J-pipe)

Humm...anyway you should not run VTA unless youre MAF is after the BPV (blow-thru setup)!

Funny...mine blowing air at idle (maybe turbo size makes a difference...I have a Holset HY35)

FYI, I am running the Forge V2 in VTA with no problem...but my MAF is after the Forge (right before the throttle body)

I used Resbond 907 ceramic adhesive : http://www.cotronics.com/catalog/30%20%207030%20%20907.pdf When heat cured at 350-450F (I used the BBQ), this adhesive/putty bonded extremely well to my manifold and made a rock solid heat shield (I applied the adhesive/putty and immediately wrapped the DEI...

I have a cheap CXracing T3 blanket over my Holset, and it work just fine (prevent stuff around the turbo from burning or melting) Only downside to the cheap blanket is that they will degrade over time (this doesnt matters if you leave it on the turbo, but if you take it off a couple time some...

Its the X-ring indeed...this one https://www.mcmaster.com/#6540k121/=x086r6 I got the metric one ( https://www.mcmaster.com/#1200n156/=14k9f5x ) but did not proceed to put it in the HPFP yet

Just put the McMaster-Carr dash 011 o-ring in my HPFP today (with some fresh Rotella T6)..did a test drive tonight and the air coming out of the BOV smells like pure gasoline (I have an oil cap breather in line with a BMW cyclonic seperator that is plugged on the intake)...fucking pissed...

Now on to part II When I first monitored high crankcase pressure (7+psi), I thought that the opened up ring gap (0.014 first ring, 0.019 second ring) was to blame, so I made a crankcase evac system that required no maintenance (and hopefully pull some good vacuum on the crankcase) Here is the...

The build started in April 2014 and I thought I was done by the end of september (2015), but I was wrong! After the build, the engine was running great, but it was in need of a professional tune...unfortunately I was out of fund and the weather was getting hugly out here (freakin Canadian...
