Recommendations for turbo timers, intakes, and BOV's
 

I'm getting a MS3 here in a few days, just looking to see what everyone's running for turbo timers, CAI's, and BOV's. Thanks.

Im running the CPE catback exhaust, very happy with it, Injen CAI, very happy with it as well. I have run stock BPV, greddy rs bov(recirc) and currently HKS SQV bov (recirc). The BOV makes no difference in my opinion, the greddy fits and looks better, but they both have similar sound, and both make the exhaust pop and very seldom backfire. Overall, I would stay stock on the bypass valve until running more boost than stock, Forge motorsports has a nice bypass valve you may want to look into as well. Oh and on the turbo timer, dont waste your money :)

A lillte off topic
 

MS3drivr a couple months back I was browsing through car domain and I saw this sweet setup for a gauge in the exsisting ac vent. I thought it looked awsome and clean. Long story short when reading this post I saw it again. If you don't mind sharing did you do it you're self and how. I love the way it looks.

Thanks, I like it as well. I'm not a fan of big gauge pods, although when its hot out i do miss the ac from that particular vent. I got it done at a shop. I dont like messing with my interior, If they screw it up, they gotta fix it. I got it done at adrenaline motorsports in puyallup, wa. I had to redo the hosing, they were sloppy. I dont think it would be hard to do if you have a dremel and a steady hand :)

Gauge
 

That is a great Idea and it looks sharp. I guess I understand the AC issue, but to be honest with you I think it is worth the cost because again it looks sweet

I have the CPE CAI, an Apexi Turbo Timer (need to finish wiring the O2 and Speed sensor) and I have a turboSmart BOV. They are fantastic. We the CPE and the Turbosmart BOV on our CX-7.
