a good tune and a upgraded intercooler would be easy and cheap.......good enough for well over 300 whp
definitely. i think his intercooler is very inefficient. There is a functional hood scoop for it, but the intercooler is mounted on top of the engine. And what exactly would he tune with? obd II and I can't think of any aftermarket support for the car right now
im sure it wouldnt be hard at all to flash the ecu to raise the boost and add more fuel.....
if it can be done for beemers, hell I dont see why not on a Mazda..but thats besides the point
Your power to weight ratio is way more effecient than his.
They do that to BMWs? Hm...you mean Audis and VW's? Because last I've checked BMW came out with FI engines was a long time ago (excluding the new TT 3 Series)

I meant the ECU reflash
and dont forget BMW diesels

Ah the turning up the boost thing kinna confused me there. Even with the ECU reflash it wouldn't be any significant power boosts, just minimal but nothing that can really be felt.
But when your talking about an ECU reflash look at how much gains can be made from the older S4 (the ones with the twin turbo 2.8L V6 B5)
The limiting factors for upgrading the 6 have already been mentioned: horrible intercooler airflow, a small turbo, zero aftermarket support, etc. Another big factor is how much more fuel the DI system can provide. I see no reason they needed to goto DI for this engine/application. Sure, they can run 9.5:1 CR but from what I read it doesn't help power delivery any. Anyway, continue arguing amongst yourselves.
My personal opinion is that you're not gonna be able to get a big boost in power out of this platform without some big bucks.
And yes, its FAT! More that 3600lbs? You gotta be kidding!

I did some research on the MPS6 and DAMN can they move! I saw a video of a mildly modded MPS6 and a BPU 3000GT-TT, the outcome is very surprising.
