CO KrumBZ Turbo thread

After 2 and a half days i finally got done with the installation. As of right now i'm only reading 4.5 psi i think thats because of my boost controller that i ordered from http://http://www.j-k-tuning.com/boo...rol-c-103.html preset to 5 psi. Also the idle is kinda rough and it backfires like a mother ******.
right now i'm using emanage ultimate, i know is not that good but i think it will do fine with just 5 psi. also i got a question is there any way to get rid of the back firing??

Back firing = tune issues...or a non-recirculating BOV

You NEED to get it tuned....

Unless you want to be picking up a new engine soon

Check out Revolutions Motorsports in the Springs. They do a lot of RX8 tuning there.

You should really get rid of the Greddy MAF housing. it's ID isn't the proper size for the MAF to correctly see the airflow passing over it. The AEM or Mazdaspeed CAI will resolve that and no suck in engine bay air.

This by far will help the tuning process be smoother and more accurate.

You don't have a map period.

Ditch that unit, save up for an Access Port w/ MM's tuning service, and be happy.
