First time Mazda owner, interesting build...

[AstralBody]

Hey folks! Coming from a custom built 2006 Subaru Wagon (N/A) and swapped a full JDM Version 8 STI swap into it and did all sorts of Frankenstein stuff. This car is sold. I currently own a 2002 track built V8 Mustang. I don't know what's stock on it.

I recently just purchased a 2013 Aspen White MS3, non-tech. Currently has 29,000km on the clock, and i purchased it at 26,000km in November.

Heres my mods!

Thank you folks! Really excited to be here. I'd like to come up from Ottawa to hang out a big meet or something!

Went BT because my k04 shit the bed. Might have been my fault using the oil restrictor bolt. I know it's purpose is to prevent excessive flow of oil causing turbo seal failure. However the revised k04 in the PU doesn't have this issue making the bolt a pretty big factor to the failure of the k04. Starved it too much of oil.

Oh well. Pay to play. I've yet to dyno the car to see what numbers I'm making.

I'd really like to come to any big meets you guys have in the GTA. Any coming up?

A little update! I've been pretty absent from these boards for no apparent reason. Figure i'd hop back on and show you guys what's been done recently! In bold is everything updated from my previous list on the original post. As far as i'm personally aware, i'm currently the fastest MS3 in Ottawa. I'm not walking around claiming this everywhere I go, but i have my hands dipped into the car community in my city, and there's not many Speed3's to begin with, but the ones i do know don't have nearly the amount of mods I have. So far, this car has turned out to be the best car i've ever owned. I'd like to pop over to Toronto for some meets, but ideally big ones.

Thanks for your interest!

What was your reasoning behind switching from the BNR s3 to the CS turbo? Currently in need of a turbo and its a toss up between the two, although the BNR seems like the best deal with the parts you get when you buy one, and it's more proven than the CS.

Well, funny story. I had written down that I owned an S3, because I did. Afterwards, I had realized that the used S3 I purchased had a couple small cracks in the housing and I just didn't really want to deal with that. I waited a few weeks and then the CS turbo released.

Bryan is an amazing manufacturer. As well as Corksport. The guy who designed the CS turbo is a good friend of mine, and he shipped me the very first North American produced CS turbo. Tuners love both turbos. But if you're strictly about numbers, the CS turbo can out perform the S3. But in reality, they're marginally different in numbers so you won't really notice much of a difference. To date, the CS turbo has zero recalls or faults. No boost creep. No wastegate issues. It's a perfect turbo and comes with all the hardware.

Also, I want to add that the CS turbo is proven as well. It's a variation of the TD-05 18G that's been around for quite some time. The only difference is the internals.
