Mazda Reflashed my ECU, Now I Am Not Getting a Black Tailpipe!

[destrux]

I just got a letter in the mail about that today. I didnt read it yet, my girlfriend told me about it on the phone. I'll post more when I get home.

mine have the same smoke problem, I took it to the dealer and they said its the gasket from the turbo, so they replace the gasket & turbo, have to wait 2 days for the turbo to get in..after it was taken care of, no more smoke, my black mica ms3 runs great, they also fix the air condition problem, now it gets cooler quicker...don't know if that helps...


So was your car smoking constantly or just every once in a while?

Mine to has these problems, but... the black on the pipe end is kind of a good thing if ya want to up the boost (A).

If after owning a MSP you people have not learned about Mazda/all Manufacturers. I really don't what to tell ya. There not here/there to sell you a good product. They just want to feed the pigons alittle to make them happy till the (as in our case) fucked up 3yr/36000 warranty runs out and and the dealer prays you keep being it back to them.

Cause they are the only Authorized repair shop for that product.

Hell even one of the authorized MazdaSpeed mechanic's @ my dealership sold his mazdaspeed and got his self an Evo.

Sad but TRUE
