Not necessary to install the manifold, it just makes life easier.

Need to do something about the stock TMIC as this heat soak is a bummer, then on to a Cobb AP to dial it all in.

09 with 16000 miles on it runs great except for the embarrasing smoking that is starting to get worse as of late. Hopefully bnoons bolt will fix it for me because it is getting old quick. I run it pretty hard and the car loves it.

Kinda bolted, 55,000+ miles. I ran my car at the track for a total of 1.5hrs at around 6k rpm, and she runs beautiful. No power steering now, but ehh.

Bought my 08.5 MS3 on June 23/08. I have put on 50,000km now driving year around through snow, sleet, ice, and occasional Canada Sun. Done 75 1/4mile passes, 2 track days, and 1 vacation. Regular bolt ons, see sig.

Not a single problem so far. Car runs fine, boosts strong, and I get wicked mileage still.

I love this thread!

No smoke, little gripes about loose boost tubes and inlet from the factory but no serious complaints, runs great all the time, though the 30 degree C weather lately has taken a touch off of it, lol

My car loves 45-80f.

Approx 33,000 miles running stronger than ever.

Transmission rebuilt at 20k but that's been the only issue which was my fault.

i have a 2007 with 29,000 miles, no probs other than the motor mount recall all i have is an AEM CAI. i cant afford not having a warranty at the moment.

on a side note. i just drove from where i live near lake tahoe, to mojave and then to vegas, it was over a 1200 mile round trip. i was amazed that the car was reading the ambient temperature outside was 116 degrees and around 100 degrees at 630am when we left. even stock the car pulled easily up all the crazy hills to vegas and there are some Fkn crazy steep roads going out there. i think the castrol syntec oil change i did at work before i left was the best thing i couldve done.
