New To The Forum!!

Hey all,
My name is Bryce, I drive a black and red 08 Mazda3. It has a
two inch lower, AEM CAI, Magnaflow Catback with 2 3/4 in piping.
I have a reworked KO4 with exhaust manifold and front mount
intercooler that I'm about ready to put in. Having trouble
finding places to make the custom piping for the FMI and am in
disarray on what to do about the down pipe needed. If any one
has any tips or can steer me in the right direction it would be
greatly appreciated. I have searched a lot and have found that
its a lot harder to boost a car that already has a boosted twin
strangely enough. Also tuning software suggestions? I have a
shop and lifts available so this is a side project with no time
limit. I would love this done as cheap as possible but want it
done right. Any help is appreciated! :) thanks!

Wait nevermind I read that wrong. lol
In order to boost you're going to need a lot of things. First
figure out if your compression is good (should be if it has been
treated normally). Then figure out your power goals and research
if your internals can handle it.
Then you'll need:
turbo
manifold
intercooler
wastegate if turbo doesn't have an internal one
blow off valve
higher flow injectors depending on boost settings
higher flow fuel pump depending on settings
turbo oil feed lines
a way to tune your ecu for the setup
boost and afr gauges are a good idea!
and all the odds and ends required to make it work together

Yessirnoproblem!
Also, factory service manuals are priceless. Also, do you have
the 2.0 or 2.3?

Yes alldata is /supposed/ to be the same thing as the FSM.
I know it is for sure for my car...right down to the nitty
gritty. As long as it was transferred right It will be the same.
