WGA mod on an MR?

Has anyone done this mod on an MR? Just curious because I want to but wanted to know if it was any more or less beneficial on an MR than a GSR?

It's the same engine, I don't see how it wouldn't be beneficial. The only difference is the gearbox which has already proven to hold much more power then you would get from that mod.

Sounds like BOV/DV flutter. Mine does it too. I have a drop-in WORKS filter.
