I had a cx-7 GT which has the same turbo 2.3 as the ms3 and I had nothing but problems with detonation causing piss poor power and horrible gas mileage from timing pull not to mention the strain on the cylinder and such. Got a lemon law settlement (5k cash) which covered my loss and I got into a honda fit. :) I love my fit and I still have my solara.
