[QUOTE=Unreliable;48489608]remember to install the single flip button for your headlights so you can wink at the guys.[/QUOTE] It has a relay that makes the right light flip up and down a few times when you open or close the lights. Also, it has a binder from the original owner that purchased that has some of the paperwork from Mazda when it was purchased brand new. It also came with Tokico HP shocks and lowering springs (Not going to use them, will probably sell them)
I have an idea.

I'd probably sell off the springs you got with it and buy nicer ones. The Tokicos are a great stock replacement shock but if it came with Bilstiens you should send those off to get revalved/rebuilt stiffer instead.

I've seen you mentioned before about starting uni there - it's not a good place to get a price for) along with it being a 3.2 v6 will be astounding if you're under 25, tax won't be pretty either[/QUOTE] I'm 23 and yeah, I'm near Preston. I managed to find an affordable quote for £1,500 which included full breakdown and European cover with courtesy car. I don't know something about it makes me all excited. I've driven about four or five TT's in the past and every one of them has made me giddy like a schoolkid. :v:

Can anyone tell me if this sounds correct? Would this be the effective volume of air (cubic inches) shoved into my engine under boost? 231ci engine on 8lbs of boost. If 1 bar = twice normal atmospheric pressure, and 1 bar = 14.7psi Then 231/14.7 = ~15.714 ci per pound ~15.714 x 8psi = 125.712 231ci + 125.712ci = 356.712 effective cubic inches of air. Meaning a 64% increase in air and theoretically ~50% increase in power? edit: (14.7 + boost pressure)/14.7 or this?

It has alot of things going for it, like the manual and quattro. Is it worth the cost? I cant really be the judge of that. I have owned numerous volkswagens and audis and just about every single one of them you could not judge by the cover. You had to own it and then figure out what is wrong 10,000 miles later. But hey.

They really aren't intended for coilovers, slamming cars and 600lb/in coilover springs like honda shitheads use them for. I'd buy a set of bumpstops, scavenge the junkyard for top hats and hardware. Put them together and see how you like them. Worst comes worst you take them back off and sell them pre-assembled.

Also your not going to know for sure as a turbo increases the pressure in a cylinder which actually expands the spark gap based on the cc containment of the quench of the cylinder. Youd have to be able to measure what you want at a specific rpm. The basic thought everyone has of a tirbo is if you add one bar, you doubled the atmosphere so you doubled the power. Which just isnt true. You also need to know where the map on your turbocharger lies, because at a certain rpm it starts to become inneficient and not supply as much pressure. A good example. On my first turbo tune I ran the car at 86rwhp on a dyno n/a. I brought it back and at 3500rpm it made pretty much twice as much power at 164rwhp not even at the full power band and I was only running 8lbs. The problem with my engine is the terrible flow in the head, so once it was forced in its like night and day. So the volumetric efficiency of the engine is slightly corrected, spark gap is widened, so at a certain pojnt it just eventially blows out.
sell the ugly wheels and buy a set of decent coilovers. used if you're on a budget. look for local miata classifieds on facebook or a miata forum maybe. or BCs or megan are relatively cheap new, and will preform good enough for a street car.

Also, sig figs, but the general idea looks right except you're talking about total displacement of the engine with the ci rating; not the air intake volume. For a better idea of boost gain, it's better to look at your heads and how much air they can physically throw into the engine with CFM and see what advantage you get by adjusting the pressure rating on that. [editline]18th August 2015[/editline] Also, check out Hot Rod's article on the matter and look up some Dyno programs. A buddy got me Dyno2003 and he and I made my engine with that. For the program, the biggest thing is getting the CFM and the head ports selected properly to make power out of the induction change, not the effective ΔCI. [url]http://www.hotrod.com/how-to/engine/ccrp-0907-turbocharged-engine-guide/[/url] [editline]18th August 2015[/editline] Lastly, 1bar + change in bar over 1bar is the efficiency equation which would see how efficient 8x would be, which would be 8x more efficient, and is also slightly wrong approach. It'd be more accurate if you're seeing a percent change to see stock hp at bar + your changed hp at boost over stock hp, which would give you the efficiency of the change to the engine. Okay, /mathnerd

You see that picture of the guy who spliced two gen 3 hemi heads together on a slant serj? Supposedly it worked for a little, the engines share a pretty close headbolt arrangement. Coolant and oil is beyond me, would definately help the engine a ton.
