You have so many options to go with that are a hell of a lot better.
You have the stock 20B-REW that was in the cosmo producing 300hp factory stock.
13B-MSP Renesis only hits around 280hp
13B-REW has around 280hp in there 95-02 motor. This just proves that the renesis isn't better. I rather go with the 13B-REW over the Renesis version.
13B-DEI from the 80's hit 200hp in the S5 version. <-- Id rather modify this motor then the Renesis
