First off, will get pics when finalized.(naughty)


But it looks like the boost tops out about 15.5 psi and starts to drop rapidly.

At about 5000-6000 rpms the boost is only at 7-8 psi.(freak)

This vehicle needs a tune.

You wont be able to flash the ECU. You will need something like this...

MazdaSpeed3 Xede
Dyno tested at 288 fwhp and 310 torque!
57 fwhp & 70 ft lbs torque increase over stock with the Xede only


I wish I had a MazdaSpeed3! Huge gains for the money. BEGI has been around forever. They are well known in the Miata aftermarket. No affilliation...

Yes it can be done. How do you think superchips and jetchip does it? Good product...I wonder if it could work with the CX-7?
 
This is probably a stupid question but could you use the software (or the whole ECU for that matter) from a Speed-6?

Ditto any suggestion where to tap the wires and the vacuum line, or should I say where did you tap into. I'm looking into this addition also.
 
Tapped the wires for the light into the fuse box directly below the vent.

Vacuum line is off the BOV....couldn't find ANY other vacuum line to tap into.
