He had an intercooler, but I can't recall what else he had.
I am sure I am over 300hp (GMS1 was rated at 290hp for pete's sake!)

Also, SS/SC's with GMS3 were good for 300hp on good gas...

nathaniel hit 295 iirc not splitting hairs here. kevin has more mods then him by far. i wouldnt assume you have 300 with the **** gas we get. and yes edward is very competitive with any lnf in this city. he may not win against a zfr or a big wheel but as you will notice in a lil while it isnt the same car you remember.

I've got an idea for my clutch I'll know more when on friday but if i can get it by next weekend when I'm back I'll show you my car. And remember on the totally "accurate" HP gauge on the RPD I bury the **** out of the thing

Recalls are being issued per VIN now. If you previously ordered it, you have to reorder as they are cutting keys for the VIN to eliminate giving out new door locks

It takes a day or 2 of driving and wot will fill the after cooler system. It will take at least 3-5 days for the system to completely bleed too

Hi daedlus! There has been an overwhelming response to the recall, however please know that we're working as quickly as possible to deliver parts to dealerships. If there is anything we can do to assist during this time, please do not hesitate to private message us your VIN and dealership name.

Thanks,

Mark!

Would you believe I ALREADY have an update!?

Here's the message I just got;

Jonathan,

Steven@WOT has replied to your support request;

This update should clean things up quite a bit. Lets flash it and re-log.

Does he have a wideband gauge installed? It would be helpful to know what it reads at wide open throttle.

--
- Steven Weller

Asking about a wideband is a first;
From all my dealings with Vince, he pretty much relies on readings that the ECM can "see"...
Interesting.

If you take the car for a boot some time today, please take note of WOT wideband readings, and we'll compare with readings post-reflash.

oh... and let me know when you want to reflash ~ like this evening maybe?
(you have my number should you want to call )

So Mark on my drive back to work I remembered that it is true I have the stock boost profiles in my car right now but I will also have my laptop with me soooooo we'll see if I can make it the whole way without turning it up or how long it takes. If I do turn it up would be nice if I can wait until I'm out of Calgary

So I tried finding a Cobb stage 3 dyno didn't see any then went on the MazdaSpeed3 forum they say it's a k04 and one guy said he was buying one that made 327hp and everybody called him for BS!! It's a bigger engine that will suck up the boost faster than the LNF with same style of turbo
