Re: quick ??
whats your take from what im reading they dont take well to boost upgrades due to the weak block. are there many upgrade parts for the car such as turbos stuff like that or is it best to leave the stock t-25 on there

Def. Do an intercooler upgrade. I upgraded mine on my srt and I noticed a nice gain in top end. I was trapping 3-5 MPH higher with just my IC due to the fact the stock gets heat soak very quick

Re: quick ??
im really starting to wonder if i should get one now from what i been reading they have weak internals and can blow the block after 10psi. im used to dsm that can hold 400+ hp on a stock block. maybe a wrx is a better deal

Re: quick ??
. Also dont know much about the mazda speed cars, but if 10psi is max boost, id be weary. Doesnt seem like you could make much power out of the car.
