1. Did you notice power increases in the lower or higher gears? All
2. Was car able to hold boost to redline? Yes
3. Better gas mileage? Yes if you can keep your foot out of it
4. For power gains only, do you think it was worth the money? Yes
5. Was power gains more vs another mod? Similar power increase to Intake is what I thought. Worth it for the top end power and area under the curve increase. Plus ability of using ATR to tweak a tune, or get custom tuned.
6. Do you regret getting the AP and for what reason(s). No
7. When visiting the dealer (prior to routine service or repair) and you flashed the ecu back to stock, was the dealer able to determine the ecu was flashed?
No, but I am sure the could if they searched hard enough. In other words if your blew your engine and you flashed back to stock I am sure they could figure out the ECU had been flashed a number of times. IF they looked hard enough. Im thinking the dealer wouldnt, but a Mazda Rep may.
In short I would buy it again. Get the intake first though, I got the SRI, but if you want the CAI go for it.
