We all know that intake air temps really affect turbocharged vehicles. Had a chance to do some back to back runs and and see just how much of a difference 20* F would make. I wrote about the findings...
This is not regarding knock retard, but this is another often-asked question regarding MazdaSpeed and MPS vehicle: What modification path should I follow?
Wrote an article to hopefully shed some...
I don't suggest going to 100% E85 as it has caused gumming of the fuel system and HPFP which are a bit of a hassles to always clean. A 25% mixture is just about right and since our fuel systems are...
Hey guys and gals, it seems there is some confusion about COBB's OTS maps and what to make of upgrades. Here are a few thoughts:
1. The stage of the map simply refers to the amount of load, boost,...
For everyone waiting for ATR, it's finally here for the ADM cars as noted in this sticky above. So anyone waiting for this to get an e-tune ... well the wait is over :)

Here's the down low on the EWG, IWG question. With an EWG you generally get better flow through the gate and can control boost creep better. This is especially important if the IWG of a turbo is not...
I'm "Lex" on the other forums and I am tuning Jonatan's car. He's making solid power with his setup with a good spool profile. Of course traction is an issue - and lately it appears his clutch has...

Thank you for the thorough and well thought out review of the process so far. We are just getting started, so there should be a lot more in store once the MPS is back on the road.
To answer some...
If the car feels sluggish, the first places I would look is at the fuel trims (LTFT) and check that they are not more than +/- 10% as well as boost levels at WOT - these should spike to ~17psi, hold...
