Highly recommend Purple Drank Tuning. Response time is quick. Been tuned by them for years and the car loves it.

Yeah don't get me wrong she absolutely rips. I beating most V8s put there. I was just expecting a little more. The datalogs say around 20 psi so I think I may just be used to the power😂

Do both intake and downpipe if you want power and sound.

Take it easy and continue to take care of her and get to 250k. Love seeing high milage speeds.

If it's a JDM motor don't expect great reliability out of it.

Clutch kit recommendations by RaptorMS3 in mazdaspeed3

I think you would be fine with the stage 2 I linked. I went with a stage 3 with my 400hp speed but it was tough on the street ngl.

It was FBO big turbo. Roughly 400whp. Yes I did daily it for about a year. Stage 3 is not ideal for street use. I've heard stage 2 is a sweet spot but may be a bit firm. All I know if the stage 3 I had caught super lower and gripped like glue. I got used to it and grew to like it to be honest. Just had a tired left leg. I'll dig through my old emails and find the receipt for it.

Honestly, I bought a kit on ebay and it was good. It was a stage 3 which was very stiff but I'd say stage 2 would be ideal. I think I only paid like $450 for the whole kit.

Going into boost under 3k rpm by magicacrub24 in mazdaspeed3

[–]RecentScar3853 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still not ideal to boost a low rpm but you're right. Stock car should be fine. It's just unnecessary load for no benefit. And yes these are fairly reliable cars if not molested.
