Cx-7 Turbo Upgrade to MPS

[Snowsear]

Hey champions, I have an L3-VDT out of a 2009 CX-7 and I was hoping to gain some insight on how difficult it may be and the complications one might face if they were to swap out the CX-7 Turbo for an MPS Turbo, this engine is going to end up in a 2007 SP23 if that helps, thanks in advance.

No complications at all, it's just a matter of tuning. CX-7 engine is effectively the same, just a slightly smaller turbo, some different bolt-ons. Straight swap into an MPS - the block, head, cams, high pressure fuel pump, internals etc are all the same. I've always wondered how it would perform paired with the 2004 SP23 close ratio 5 speed box.
