ETS Top Mount Intercooler Installation Mazdaspeed 3

[@RazoE]

I like ETS TMICs, but they're so expensive! I am currently running the CP-E Delta and I love it 👍🏼

[@Meanmachine.ms3]

They are definitely on the expensive side . CP-E is also a very good intercooler as well . 🥹👍

Make sure to double check the gasket and retighten the bolts between the interooler and the elbow to the the bpv. After switching over mine it would leak a bit

[@Meanmachine.ms3]

Thank you for the advice. I will definitely check the gasket between the elbow and the intercooler . I’ve heard of that happening to some Mazdaspeed owners in the past . So I appreciate you for the kind words . 🙏🫡

You need to do your timing chain and VVT big fella

[@Meanmachine.ms3]

It’s been done at the Mazda Dealership two years ago .

[@fernandos6667]

I heard the little rattle at startup 😅

[@Meanmachine.ms3]

@@fernandos6667I swear I’ve done the vvt at Mazda themselves 😅

I came here to say this..

[@jackholmes1246]

Yeah, I’d take it back to them lol. It was incorrectly tensioned. Trust me, I’ve been there myself lol

recommend poster board when making stencils....what are you doing w/the blue one?

[@Meanmachine.ms3]

You are right , I should’ve used boards to cover the surrounding instead of paper. And as for the blue one , I did end up selling it for another Mazdaspeed owner .
