haha ouch
Do you feel like you've gotten used to the power? When I first bought my speed3, it felt pretty quick. Now, it feels okay, normal.
Im not quite sure, I know of 10 guys personally (9 1st gen, 1 2nd gen), and Ive only seen maybe about 7-8 1st gens and 3 2nd gens running around, lol...

their site will tell you retail stores around the country (i got mine from a local rhino liner place). other's here will tell you there are sites that sell it for much cheaper than in the store. you could also check out the marketplace either for sale or post up a want ad for yourself

Its not gonna be what you think. If peak hp for stock is 263 the ht might add 10 or 20 to that. The real importance is the revival of power lost at high rpm, smoothing of the power band, and limit removals in lower gears

I'm talking about bhp, not whp. Manufacturer specs are 263hp....I was just going off that number
But like I said, the ht tune is honestly nothing more than a reawakening of hp lost towards redline under stock tune, and restriction removal of boost in the first 2 gears (if user so chooses)
Of course, the ht will only take you as far as the stock turbo will take you. So any additional power wanted will have to be dealt with using a pro tuning product like the ap or whatever

I have a mazdaspeed cai and the ht and it works out just fine for me. I don't have the money (not just for items, but any repair money I might need for damages as a result) to buy things like exhaust components, internal components, intercoolers, meth kits, etc
And with the addition of all those other things, in order to maximize gains you'll want a protune, which cannot be done with an ht
Now, the ht is supposed to be good with the addition of other bolt ons, but at least one member here got something that historically added like 20whp but didn't because of their ht. Then ended up getting rid of the ht for the cobb and got it tuned, which gave it the hp it was supposed to
If you don't want to go full out get the ht. It really is one of the best bang for your buck mods out there

Maybe a little clarification. The other poster, Anm6, had great results from the HT until he went "big turbo" with the PG reworked turbo which flows about 30% more than stock. With the bigger turbo, he needed a custom AP tune to get his car running properly. Just too much flow.
With my mods below, I am holding 18-19 psi coming up on boost and tapering to about 17 at 5,500 rpm and still 16 psi on out past 6,000 rpm. The load tables have been raised in the mapping so that you do not hit the 17.5 psi slap down on stock tune. The adjustments to timing advance and boost appear to be based on keeping EGT's close to but not exceeding 1500 degrees F., rather than attempting to dangerously lean out the tune as with some other options.
I am now hitting consistent 60-100 mph times of 5.8-5.9 seconds in cool weather, 6.1 seconds on warm days. Think about that for a minute in comparison to the same time intervals for some cars many would consider to be pretty quick.
I think there is a bit more going on with HT's approach to tune beyond its ability to overcome the sharp 5,500 "fall like a rock" throttle closing of the stock tune, and the lifting of the restriction in 1st and 2nd gear.
It is not capable of absolutely maximizing power. To do so does run risks HT does not wish to do, and which conservative owners of daily driver cars like myself appreciate.
It is quite mod friendly as long as you stay with the stock turbo. It produces a very broad, flat power curve, raising power "under the curve" compared to stock all across the band, not merely up top. In fact, my assessment is that the best power gains from HT, compared to stock take place on the left side of peak power. Whether you are producing a higher peak power number is not nearly as important as getting more power early in the power band and holding that rise throughout the band. The earlier and longer the power rise takes place is more important that peak dyno numbers.
I agree that it is one of the best bangs for the buck for those of us who want more safe power.
