These things give STi's/Evo's trouble stock for stock and simple mod's like this make a huge difference. No idea how S2000 owners think they can pull on these from a roll. I got slaughtered by one when my Evo was near stock.

I'm afraid so... The stock intake on the ms3 is so restrictive... they usually pick up 25whp with an SRI.

test drove a MS3 once...I really wanted to like it, but the early power dive killed it for me. They should have designed it to be able to pull hard to at least 7 grand, even if that meant a bit less torque/HP in the midrange. It's a sport compact, not a diesel U-Haul truck

if MS3 owners didn't care about low/midrange torque they would have bought a Honda. Not everyone wants an 8000+RPM screamer as their daily driver. So they could have made the head breathe better and put a bigger turbo on it, kill the drivability of the car and made it produce that kind of torque to 6500RPM then it would be even more expensive, not a lot of usable torque in the lower rev range and we would have a 350 horsepower FWD hatch.
