MS3 vs Tiburon again

i regretfully state that i previously owned a tibi 2.7 V6 and traded in for my 08 MS3 and i only had a staged clutch and flywheel in the tibi and i have an intake and BOV on the speed but seriously stock for stock its close 0-60 if you can drive the tibi but after that its all speed with the turbo and all so there is both perspectives.

Dunno if I'd agree with that. Recorded 0-60 of the ms3 is 5.5-6.5 seconds, the Tiburon is 7.4-8. That's a big gap, stock. That's like saying the MS3 is close 0-60 to an EVO or even GTR with only 1-1.5 seconds slower in 0-60.

OP: do look under his hood, as you indicated. If you see something like the attached photo, then you could be in trouble. If he has money to burn ($5-6k) he can get the attached Roots type supercharger, manifold and tuning upgrades and get a bit north of 300whp. The supercharger is the silver thing back close to the firewall, behind the manifold.
