Looks like I'm a little late to the game, but I'll reply anyway.
Not ragging on the KL's, just saying...
Oh yeah, it sucks to hear of another vendor going under. I haven't read much but I'm pretty sure I know who it is. Really it's no surprise to me (been mistreated in the past).
The easiest thing is to just say I had just about every bolt on available for the MSP except what I listed and lightweight pulleys. I'm pretty sure I still have a mod list somewhere on my home computer and I can PM you that if you'd like.
Just make sure you're comparing apples to apples here. Sure the KLZE may be a performance engine, but it's "pedestrian" counterpart, the KLDE was not. A truer comparison would be the KLZE to the FSZE (I'm noticing a trend here). Also, I recall the KLZE's weren't boost friendly (oddly enough, neither were the FSZE's) due to higher compression (10:1 I believe). If you compare KLDE to FSDE you'll realize that neither one is really any better than the other, except the KL has two more pistons and therefore makes more power.

I know a lot of people make a big deal out of the KLZE not being suitable for boost because of the higher compression, but in all honesty, I think it's more just from people talking about "what they've heard." I realize this statement is hypocritical, since I haven't done it myself, but many members on ProbeTalk have turbo ZE's and they put down a semi-outrageous amount of power on very little boost. Fastest95PGT (on mx6.com) has numbers in his sig, 317whp @ 8.5psi / 275whp @ 5.5psi. I haven't seen his sheets, but there are a number of guys with turbo ZE's putting down similar numbers.
Just think, the MS3 is around 9.5-9.7 compression ratio, running 15.5 psi from the factory, and I'm sure Mazda expects it to last that way for quite a while. The ZE is 10.1-1 iirc off hand, so that's really not far off. It's all in the tune.
Christmas came early!!
I talked my parents into buying my presents early! So I bought some all-season floor mats (much needed) and the Corksport Power Series SRI. The SRI also come with the Turbo Inlet too
Can't wait to finally hear my turbo haha!! I love the fact that I could customize the colors of everything on the intake. Silicone Color: Red, MAF Color: Black, Filter Color: Red, Turbo Inlet Pipe: Powder Coated Black.
Their site is really nice, once you choose all your colors, it shows a picture of what it will look like:

I'm not shaving, I'll post a pic or two
I like the where's waldo
If it's easy to pull up sure, just going through everything i have and still might get and just doing a comparison to see what others have done and worked to get a better idea
Nice intake, Evan. I really like CorkSport. They make good products and aren't overpriced. I installed a CorkSPort SAI on my dads 2010 Mazda3 and everything looked really good. I'm eager to hear how she sounds and performs.

Drove to Team Sahlen's shop yesterday. Picked up two sets of Continentals for next year! So excited! Seats are definitely going in over the winter. I slide around as it is.

Lmfao, I thought you guys would get a kick out of this, especially with the anti-hardparked stuff going on.
