What's the deal with the wrap job on the manifold? Having open spots and it being loose makes it very ineffective

[mikey32235]

the way the manifold is designed, the open spots make it impossible to wrap tight without it falling off.

That ****ing thing better start bitch.

oh it will! going to get it towed to APH soon

[breakfasteatre]

you are better off not having it wrapped, the open spots will create hot spots, possibly leading to cracking

[loki]

He's talking about localized hot spots

was going to say the same thing

[mikey32235]

[miako]

Good luck! hope to see the car soon!

[mikey32235]

well first im doing a break in tune, so i wont be running any boost basically, in a few days i will go back (when i hit 500KM) then do the pro tune

[mikey32235]

update: got a call from brian at APH, looks like i need a new camshaft pos. sensor. but other than that everything else is looking good so far. does anyone know for whatever reason why it would just be not functional? it was working fine before, i cleaned it before i put it back. the wires are fine, they are getting power so its just the sensor.

[mikey32235]

nobody has the sensor of course! APH will try and find one tomorrow. or else ill have to order it from mazda, will get it friday for 75$... not bad, but im getting impatient now!

Brian called me for a spare. I checked my box of goodies and all I had was spare MAP sensors. Good luck with it though. Just verify the wiring with a meter which I think Brian may have done already. If all is well with that get a new sensor. No sense I spending money on what could be a loose plug.
