    Yeah I hang out with some Evo guys. Good group. Just seems like the Mazda world died off a bit. Still like the company and they seem to be doing well and making good cars. Just seems like the "cult culture" for them died off.

    Damn... this place is dead? Oh well. I was planning a turbo swap in my LGT in the next couple weeks. Was seeing if anyone in the area wanted to participate. Planning on tearing down the engine some and inspecting the rotating assembly. Gonna be a big job and a good learning experience for...

    Quick question for you all. should I be concerned?

    Quick question for you all. should I be concerned?

    My money is on minor vac leak unrelated to the intake. Grab some brake cleaner and spray around the intake manifold and anywhere else you see vac lines. If your RPM's fluctuate while you are doing it then you found your leak. Remember do this after the car has warmed up and your idle is...

    How long ago did you do the intake? Sounds like it could be a vac leak. Too lean and too rich isnt the problem it would be a symptom.

    Anyone know this titanium MSP in Chicago?

    Manual Boost controller on an MSP can be bad news. You definatly are gonna want to check the compression on that car.
