Alot more complication for what seems like same HP/TQ production. Minor weight savings, minor fuel economy(1 MPG better in one report I'be seen). And much more difficult to do power enhancing mods. And when in the future, after warranty is up Im thinking its going to be an expensive nightmare to work on. Right now Im happy with my decision but time will tell.
i'm really interested in how the hpfp problem will be resolved. and also very interested to see actual dyno numbers from the new motor.
