Project 2.Slow Mazda3

Also, is it really only +14 to boost a car? +5 forced induction vehicle, +2 upgraded fuel injectors, +7 aftermarket intercooler,

don't forget the oil cooler you'll want, as well as the new fun cooling issues you're going to run into in hot weather which will necessitate lots of fun ducting and venting (does that fall under aero?). then the stress that extra power puts on a drivetrain (clutch, mounts?), and slowing down from higher speeds means more brake heat, more stress on wheel bearings.

i think that's why its "only" that amount, because they understand you're going to have to fortify everything else on the car to handle more power so the reality is a lot more points involved.
