turbo FC's are picky, i find its actually better to spend the time and verify EVERYTHING is a) functioning and b) hooked up correctly.



this takes a little extra time, but the car runs better.



i dunno why he's wasting his time at autozone though, life is too short for that!

 

what do you mean reducer pill?

 

alls we have is autozone and discount auto here. and i dont wanna spend $30 each on them if i could get them for much cheaper...

 

ehhh....tryed calling locally again. no luck.



i just ordered them from mazdatrix...

 

the "reducer pill" that was mentioned is plumbed into the MAP sensor line that connects to the intake manifold. It is a restriced orifice tube who's function is to smooth the charge air pulses to the MAP sensor to give the computer more of an "average" MAP reading

 

never heard of that before...



anyways, im just waiting on the air blleds from Mazdatrix so i can put it all back together and hopefull that was the last problem. i'll pressure test it before i try and start it up just to be sure...



oh, also... i port and polished the lower manifold and the stock wastgate while it was off. heres some pics...

 

it was pretty damn hard to get down in there. but i think it was much worth it...

 

you have some serious time on your hands, go job though.

 

thanks... and yeah, it took a long time. but i work over night from 11pm to 7am. so on my nights off i get pretty bored when everyone i know is sleeping. so i spend a lot of that time in the garage...

 

Looks good
