The MSP runs about 6.9 psi, right? I forget, I keep reading different numbers.

The FM Protege kits can run 8, using the T03. It is only really happy at 6 with the "device" in place. It retains the stock fuel pump, no auxilary piece is needed. However, they are still working on timing issues, particularly with the MP3. They are currently using an AFPR for fuel needs.

FM is working on the best way to deal with fuel and timing issues for the regular Protege and the MP3. It takes longer when you have to reverse engineer this stuff.

The MSP has it all right for timing and fuel.

Talking

I spoke with our Mazda rep yesterday.

According to him, there was a delay on a part for the Mazdspeed Protege'. The part is now in the hands of final assembly, and delivery is still slated to begin within the next 2 weeks.

Also, there has been a bit of a revisionist stance on the order of future Mazdaspeed products. It's now looking as if the Miata will be first on the list, but that's just scuttlebutt.

I said it before and I'll say it again, it's set to 9 psi. I have the Mazda technical manuals here and its in there as well as every other detailed technical thing about that car.

Really, 9 psi? The why is it only rated for 160??

I'm making that to the wheels on 5.5 psi...

Read maximum boost by corky bell and you'll understand.

I know the intercooler is not the most efficient piece on the MSP...I've seen enough of the intercoolers on the BEGI/FM Turbo kits to know what efficient intercooler design looks like.

hey the man....sorry for kubas confusion....what he was trying to say to you that the turbo was not made by callaway that it is a t25 garrett ball bearing turbo made by garrett...now i also told him calliway was putting the turbo setup together making the car having the power that it does.....he's not too great when it comes down to the aftermarket products or turbos or anything like that...i have to explain allot to him about that stuff.....but he is pretty knowledge about our product line up....he would be even more knowledgeble if he listened to me more often.......anyway.......i was just wondering...i heard a rumour the msp couldn't handle more than 12 psi on stock componants.....where would said someone get those type of componants.....compants i'm talking about stronger head gaskets, bolts, rods, etc etc

I think it might be both things...
