Lol! Yeah. Correct shock, wrong picture (front strut).

Thank you for your post. My experience with Hypertech has been quite different. It may have to do with mod choices. What other mods are you running? I'm attaching a couple Virtual Dyno charts to illustrate my point. Virtual Dyno is widely employed by custom tuners over on the MSF board and...

And with $1,000 in simple bolt on mods I have safely raised power without decreasing reliability. I easily, repeat easily eat 370Zs for lunch. Now, that's fun. Not much fun for them. And it is very hard to raise power significantly in NA engines without going internal and spending big bucks.

Mazda has fixed the face for '14, but no Speed 3 - yet. (mad)

Focus is too small. Speed 3 is quicker and can be made much quicker for less money. Period.

Is the car stock or does it have aftermarket mods, and if so, list them. Once we know how you are setup we can go from there.

No need to pay more, no zoom, zoom booms reported with HT. Not so with AP. Glad you got a pro tune and didnt try a do it yourself.

Pzr2874: AP fanboys will be fanboys. Looks like you got a good custom tune from Cobb. How much over the cost of Hypertech did you pay for both the AP AND the custom tuning? And how much improvement did all that extra cash yield? And that's assuming Cobb's dyno was not having a "happy day"...

^ Very intelligently and articulately spoken. And with such irrefutable proof, too! Congratulations on the highly persuasive argument. I'm so embarrassed. My pile of s*** tune could only do this with my mods. See attachments. I know this is pretty pitiful (throat clearing sound here), but...

Yet another opportunity to go zoom, zoom, boom to try to achieve maybe 10 more whp over HT, and then with an expensive custom tune. Not worth it financially or risk wise. I am at 300/300 with HT on stock turbo and pump gas and my mods as listed. I cannot possibly use more bottom end torque. I...

The rear motor mount ought to be a part of the initial power upgrade. Power is what OP was specifically asking about, if you will but read his post. He specifically asked about "power/hp". FWIW I finally just upgraded suspension two months ago. See mods below. I got over 80,000 miles on the...

Search. Read the posts. I don't have time to repost all the charts and logs and data. Short answer: it is an extremely bolt on mod friendly way to safely make 99% of the available power gains on the stock K04 turbo on pump gas compared to the more expensive tuning options that require even...

^???? Surely you jest. Squeeze a litte horsepower? A simple intake, racepipe, and Hypertech tune will produce over 50 whp gain on this car. You must not be into engine mods.

You are asking some strange questions. I won't say they are dumb. It is just about impossible to answer this question. There are many, many reasons you may be smelling fumes. This will require someone to actually look at your car. BTW: what the hell is a "full exhaust"?
