Pictures of my Mazdaspeed Turbo conversion!!!

The noise from the ittybitty IHI makes the car sound like a Leerjet throttling up for take off..at least it does on my GF's MSM w/FM intake. It's a good sound.
Like everyone else has said, get the TB elbow replacement and some other type of BOV/recirc.
Now you just need to get a MSM valvecover....

I don't necessarily see where a performance gain could be made by changing out the throttle elbow. True, I would rather have a BEGI powdercoated elbow, but at 80 dollars, well...it can wait.
I just finished my custom intake though. I'm a little concerned about hot air from the placement, but with the proper heat shields, she shouldn't have any problem breathing now. All I can say is it cost me alot less, around 44 dollars to complete with the K&N...
New pics will be loaded tomorrow!

So yeah, that means the average MSM owner is going to have to go to the trouble of replacing the boost control solenoid with a manual one, replace the elbow with a metal one, and buy a forge recirculating valve and a 02 signal modifier. All to fix Mazda's fuckups right there... Somebody should have sent the tab (for a hydra nemesis )to Mazda on that one...
Is something wrong with this pic...

Well, it all works just fine in stock form...which is all they intended it to do. (sans the d/v..which overworks the turbo too).
For what it is, it's not bad...no problems from my GF's MSM, though I have installed a FM elbow, FM intake, FM down pipe, Hallman MBC, some H&R springs and 17" SSR C-RS...doing a intercooler and muffler next. Car is def. pretty quick...and fun.

New pics! Intercooler and air intake assembled!
The moment I have been wanting for. I got the are intake and all vacuum tubes assembled, plus the intercooler. The next step will be to get my Mazdaspeed front bumper and airdamn installed.
Then get that new 2.5 midpipe, a custom fabed 2.5 inch downpipe, and the ihi turbo and lines
And of course engine management...
