and if you want to reach 30 billion, get forged internals and valves and all that fun stuff.

320whp on a MS3 is nothing more than an exhaust and piggyback away.

full catless exhaust, CAI and piggyback and you've got 300-320whp..

very fun cars but leave the turbo alone unless you're prepared to pay.

there, i found the link.
and it makes around 320 whp, with stock everything else.
so with adding a CAI and catback and piggyback, you'd be pushing i dunno, ~350whp?

Well using the Apexi SAFC on a mazda is just a joke.. our ECUs are way too smart for it.

Something like an XEDE plug and play ecu though.. now we're talkin
