    MAF relocation questions

    Hey no shame in that... Before committing to relocate my MAF, I used some exhaust pieces from Pep Boys (pre-bent 90 degree elbows and straight sections. It confirmed that the my stalling issues where caused by the stock MAF location (which they were). It runs so much better with a relocated MAF.

    CV Axle for a MSP?

    Don't have them in hand yet, but Autozone can get them as well. They are part number 10458 and 10459. Ironically, if you search under Mazdaspeed, they dont come up. But if you search under a standard Protege they show up in the list of options. Look for manual trans, w/ABS and MPS2...

    Vacuum block install

    Just wanted to confirm that you caught the note about the check valve in the stock brake booster vaccum line. There should be a "bump" in the vacuum line between the vacuum block and the brake booster (you need to keep the stock vacuum line in that location). The stock brake booster vacuum...

    ECU Reflash

    Ok, I've gotta ask since we're on the subject. I had my ECU flashed a while back, and it did make quite an improvement (the stock programming REALLY sucked). But there are still some flat spots once in a while. So I am gonna put in a SSAFC. Will the Super Stock Map work with a flashed ECU?

    Flash Question MSP Trouble with the dealer.

    I had my flashed a few months ago (I live in LA). It made a BIG difference in the hesitation. It's still not perfect, but a lot better. I bought a SSAFC but have not installed it... just wondering what all the hype is about and if there is more performance to be gained. I printed out the ECU...
