I have a MS3 in my car and i plan on running 5-9 pounds of boost this summer (depending on how much power the car makes), i'll let everyone know how it goes. I only want to push the stock internals to 600rwhp.

I'll answer that one for you. We can never have enough ****** power. If you have traction issues you need to mod your suspension and wheel tire configuration. There is never enough power up to around 1000 rwhp.

Who said anything about too much power? We're talking low end here. I dont care if I have 100rwhp at 3000rpms or 1000rwhp at 3000rpms because I never see 3000rpms when I'm racing, it's all 4000rpms and up. Anything under that is useless. I don't know about you m6 guys but a4s don't need low end, they need a stall.

I am very much considering this swap. I made 525 rwhp on 6lbs so we'll see how it goes with a MS3
