TX5_Turbo88 - I made 137kw's at the front wheels at a little over 5000rpm on 9 psi of boost on 95 octane fuel on a 27 degree day - so on Ranks advice we chose caution and left it at that until time proved it. That was over 2 years ago, and it hasn't missed a beat
I choose wolf based on my research, then hunted down a workshop I trusted who was familiar with the product (and even better that they have a fondness for Mazda's)
------------------
Turk - I paid $1400 for my wolf - thats harness, sensors, ecu, laptop software etc. Fitted myself, and when ever I had a question the blokes at wolf3d were only ever a phone call away. When the engine was up and running (using a modified BPT map) tuning at Rank was only $350 as they new the ecu back the front making the whole process very quick simple and safe.
"It is a cheap car and as such spending big money for at the end of the day a cheap car that is not going to make big power is nothing more then a waste"
based on that comment you might aswell sell the mx and save up for something else - some of us (like Cam, Rod, Myself) prefer to do the job right - regardless of the value of the vehicle.
No one expects that everyone else on here needs to go and spend a huge wad of cash copying us - but when you use a cheaper alternative, don't claim its better.
Even you turk surely understand that point?
You use justification such as MS ever improving - in the same way wolf provide registered owners with firmware updates as req'd, but not that often, testimony to the better R&D that went in to the products initially.
Likewise you point to 4000 vs 1500 exhaust/manifold - I would expect the 4000 system will out perform and out last the cheaper system, not by 250% percent as you would expect with the price differance but by probably 10-20%, again testimony to better R&D that all comes at a price.
-----------------------
Again my point - nothing wrong with being cheap just don't says it better *shrug*
-----------------------
I'm happy with my setup , I made good power, with a reliable setup using quality brand name trusted components, after all, how much does it cost to do a job twice or repair a blown engine....or the cost of towing it 2500km's home when it all craps itself out in the middle of nowhere and the nearest shop hasn't even heard of the XYZ parts you used - no more comments from me on this topic as I have nothing to prove
