With stock injectors you would be lucky if you weren't maxing out the duty cycle at 4 psi or less, it's not a good idea at all to boost on blue tops. If you are smart you would get a set of red tops and that would solve the issue for up to 8-9psi.

As for the FMIC, figure something out, it is not that hard. There isnt a whole whack load of boosted v6 mx3's around so pics aren't magically going to show up. Just route the passenger side pipe under the rad area near the tow hook and the drivers side you cut a hole under the headlight and run through were a CAI would normally go.

rudy you love risking your poor engine dont you? LOL



At 5 psi the wideband shows the injectors topping out at around 4 k rpms and i would backfire ugly(lean) BOOM


Just buy the millenias man, dont skimp out on fuel now. Get yourself a freaking wideband :/ why are you against widebands?!
