comes in a 60mm too, I used a 52mm pillar pod and bored out one of the gauge holes, fits fine...

In other words, any 52mm pod would worked if it had some room to bore out with the 60mm

Too bad there are no 60mm pods for the 8 that will work for me LOL. I think I can custom make something....I have an idea where to put it

I was joking... dynoing an awd car with the ebrake up to disengage the rear transfer is probably the dumbest thing Ive heard anybody doing... Id love to see somebody try it though

A few years ago when me & my buddy Mark were soldering in a DTEC into my old MS6 we disconnected the wiring harness under the dash, soldered everything up (finished at like 2am lol), and forgot/didn't see one of the connectors we disconnected.... it's been a long time, but there was a small black box IIRC with a wire running to it right next to the ECU, which is the AWD control module (it's not labeled). Disconnect this wire, and your car becomes FWD, which is evident due to newly found massive front wheelspin.

I actually posted a thread about it years ago:
http://forum.mazda6club.com/index.php?showtopic=72692

Just figured I would throw that out there for anyone who wanted to run their MS6 in FWD configuration.

*Disclaimer: I do not in any way mean to influence anyone to try this, nor am I saying it's "safe". In fact I have no idea of the negative consequences it might have (although I didn't notice any negative long term effects on my old car).*

Well I am officially out for a dyno day unless it's a few months off...car is going to live on jackstands for a while now haha.

Maybe I will bring my '93 Ford F-350 with a 460 v-8!! I want to see it put down 170-rwhp and 390 ft-lbs of torque by 2000 rpm!! ROFL

I need a shop that is willing to hold us, and that has AWD.... then I can make the phone calls, but I know nothing about these shops

That seems like it would be a really good place Nate. Hell I might even look at taking my car to him to tune. I get the feeling he really does care...of course I could be totally off base here haha.
