not sure what it is on the speed 6, but my 6 is dirt cheap to insure, may want to compare the insurance on the 3 and the 6 to factor into the overall cost of ownership. done it, and there is about a 5 dollar difference between the two believe it or not. that is per month. my insurance will go up about 125 per 6 months compared to my wrangler. it's all because of the rating they put on mazda's for theft, cost of parts, etc. some IGR or IRG thing that companies use. rated at like a 23 for the MS3 and the MS6 is a 24 I believe. the wrangler is like an 18. an rx-8 is around the same price for insurance as well. i thought that would be alot more per month. |

does it cut throttle to bleed the boost or is it a dump valve at the throttle body? and does it do it to restrict the speed or does it do it to keep from overboosting. I know on our lysholm setups (vw) we have to bypass the ISV because it will bleed off boost anything above .8 bar to keep from overboosting. and there is a dump valve on the throttle body to keep the car from boosting at idle and low rpms that we mess with too. it rerouts the boost to intake untill 5 degrees off of WOT found some datalogged dynos, and not only does the boost drop via the boost solenoid, the electronic throttle starts to close over 5500 too |

my 6 costs me like $950 for the year to insure my insurance dropped alot when I moved to Illinois from maryland. and I am still close to a major us city. close to DC in maryland, and I am even closer to st. louis. it's weird. i also only drive about 3 miles to work. i will see how everything works out. plan to get the MS3 though, better gas mileage, and MUCH cheaper msrp. |
