If buying the PC new, and you only want 3lbs of boost you can get that from an M1 for alot less than an M3. Now, if you plan on upgrading later then go with the M3.
As far as which way you go. You have to take the motor apart one way. The other way is a "bolt on". Sorry, you're gonna have to make that decision.

dave the reason why i chose the "m3" over the "m1" is because the m3 can be run with 89 octane fuel and the m1 needs 92 octane , this is what is in the pro charge brochure .

Well, the M3 will give you plenty of room for upgrades in the future.
However, I personally wouldn't use 89 with boost. I wouldn't care how cold the charged air is. But hey, that's just me.

Hey 26Sonic, did you get a speed increase with your mods you have done so far?[exhaust, fuel reg. , ecm. cal. } I was wondering what you think about the revolution exhaust,? fit, finish ect.
Thanks Mark R
