CXRacing FMIC for mazdaspeed 3?

[Ms3speed]

after looking at the pictures again I guess the pipeing it doesn't have a miror polished finish but I wouldn't say its brushed aluminum its just like the polishing done on polished lips of wheels.

If you call CXRacing direct - he will honor the Ebay price as he did for me today. $499 + CA tax + $20 shipping to a CA address $567 shipped!

Think I'm going to sell my turbine tech front motor mount and purchase the FMIC. Can't beat $550 for a complete FMIC... Sell the cheapo bpv

so is it completely necessary to have an upgraded fuel pump and tuning solution before going with a fmic? i really want to get some cooler bat's for this summer but dont want to mess with the fuel pump yet... it seems like the ecu could compensate for the cooler air on the stock tune right?

i dont see why not...if your pump is workin fine now, I dont think lower bats will change that.

I'm running a custom kit using black PC piping from CXRacing and their IC. I'm running Stg2 Cobb AP holding 19 psi and my fuel pump is holding up just fine. It seems that not all FP's are equal though. My piping might be slightly different but the routing is the same, it will fit but not straight down. My hot pipe angles down toward the fender and connects to the j pipe using the cold side coupler from my stock TMIC. You will remove some coating working it down but no one will see it anyway. I used the PG how-to when installing mine. You have to unconnect the power steering cooler from the lower bracket and just let it hang. You also have to remove a pieces plastic support. Look up PG install how-to on another forum I believe. I'll post a link, hope the mods are OK with this link to 24 7.

Remove the space between the 4 and 7 . This thread was most helpful with my install.

You can run a fmic with stock tune but what really brings the power out of haveing one is more boost, with just a front mount your power will be more consistant but don't exspect big gains without 2-3 more psi. Also get a turbo inlet pipe at the very least that will help keep your boost preassure up because of the added volume the front mount will take over stock.
