Okay so I've been doing some reading ever since I got the code p0401 I've cleared the egr valve twice over the past 6 months. Can I just do a egr delete and not have any issues with the way the car will run or drive? Will my idle smooth out? Would my car run better with the delete? I just want...

Hey I recently installed new lowering springs and I threw out my rear plastic panels because they were all cracked up so I don't really care to replace. Almost aiming for a bit of weight reduction (removed spare, rear wiper assembly, all un needed plastics removed, etc... ) I want to clean the...

When I was installing my lowering springs there was 1/2 inch aluminum spacers that goes between the body and the strut. Do I have to have it or can I remove it for that extra 1/2 drop?

Hey guys I have a couple questions... I've been reading that the Mp3 ecu helps the mp5 somehow with gains? How exactly is it getting gains over the mp5 ecu? What's special about the Mp3 ecu? My wife has a 2001 Protege sedan with the 2.0 is the that the ecu I'm after? Would the mp5 ecu work in...
