Hey there...i'm using the HDI GT2 kit as are a few other guys here in AUS.

Has been installed on my car for over 6 months with no issues at all.

One thing I should mention is that when i received my kit, it had an adapter for the BPV but no hose included to connect it to the coldpipe going to the TB - you might need to source a radiator hose of similar diameter and cut it to suit.

Thanks for your answer man, I was looking through the instructions and noticed on the final pic of everything installed the plastic lip on front bumper isn't installed is yours on or wont it fit with the intercooler?

Can install it, just have to cut a small part of it (1 inch or so...)
Also, with the bpv plate, I had to source new bolts + locking nuts, but I believe they now offer it with an "extras" kit that gives you it

I am currently using this kit. I don't know of anyone else using this kit on an MS6 here in the states. It will be very capable of handling your power goals.

This kit was designed for the MPS6 which has a different PS cooler than the stateside MS6. The MPS6 seems to share a PS cooler with our regular MZ6. The PS cooler is shaped differently, is much larger, and will not clear for the HDI cold side piping. I first tried to bend the cooler out of the way, but no joy. My final solution was a $20 univeral PS cooler from Advance Auto and some extra PS hose. You will have to replace the entire PS cooler assembly.

Other than that, I had no issues. I did not need to buy another coupler for the throttle body, just used the one that was already installed.

thanks for all the useful information I didn't know bout the ps pump will take a look today if that sumtin I wanna tackle.

Has anyone else gone this route?

They are being sold on ebay and I'm curious to see if any changes have been made since these other posts; it'd be nice to not have to replace the ps cooler.

As far as I know it's only the AUS MPS6 that has the PS cooler in a different location. They only have a hardline where our cooler is which clears the IC pipes for them. My MPS has the same cooler as the MS6. I cut the hardline before the cooler and replaced a small section with easy to bend hose so the cooler could sit along the IC pipe. I just taped it onto the pipe but I'll make a custom bracket for it now. Took a lot of work to make it work since there were no instructions for our cooler type.

A couple things makes the install "hard"
* Relocation of PS cooler
* BPV mounting pipe is too tall, need to be cut down like 2 inches
* Relocation of washer bottle - wires/hoses
* Aligning IC pipes

It's an awesome kit and when it's mounted you will be very satisfied. I'll probably replace the special HDI clamps/oring/adapters and put normals couplers on instead because I need more wiggle room once I get the CPE/CS manifold on

I'm still a noob to mazdas - am I understanding correctly: MS6=Mazdaspeed 6? what's MPS6?

Sometimes necromancy is needed to get answers.

I bought my car in Canada...wonder which ps cooler it has. Guess I need to do more research.

I have mounted the HDI GT2 intercooler 5000 Miles ago. Is a nice piece , but installation takes a few mods and is a very tight fit. As a long term I can tell you that the brackets holding the washer fluid reservoir did brake so it was hanging in one bolt only. I almost lose it. Have to make some stronger brackets. Also the brackets holding the intercooler itself doesn't look so beefy. Regards
