[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 13876449, member: 155561"] I've tuned over a dozen mazdaspeed3's and if they're anything like the upcoming 2.3, allow me to elaborate on your post. Fuel pump- remember that since this is a DI motor it will need 2 pumps, an in-tank pump and a high pressure cam driven pump. It is possible the stock high pressure pump is fine, as the BMW guys never need to upgrade theirs, but the mazda one was very weak, only time will tell. No need for a boost a spark, i myself made over 500 on the stock system and tuned at least 2 other cars doing so as well. No need for a high flow oil pump (again, assuming this 2.3L is similar to the mazda) Most factory turbo cars come with a bleeder valve as a boost controller. These are often weak and cannot keep the wastegate closed at high boost levels and get upgraded to solenoids. Assuming the Ecoboost comes with a solenoid itll save some money, but if not, they're like $100. I also think you went a bit overkill with the safety haha, no need for an external system to pull timing, these modern computers are very advanced, and very good at keeping themselves alive. I dont mean to come in here and sound like a know-it-all, but i've been doing the 4-cylinder thing now for a while, and i love the little things. Dont get me wrong, i sold it to get a V8 haha but i really am excited to see what becomes of this car... [/QUOTE]
