sup guys. well.. gotta 07 mazda speed 3 w/ 7000 miles. mods: cobb sri, forged bpv, motor mount inserts and boost guage. today i noticed my car started making a weird clunking noise at idle coming from the engine bay. im thinkin its got suttin to do wit the turbo since a see alil smoke coming from the tailpipe but its very minimal. i wanna take it to the dealer. my first question is has anyone heard this noise coming from their car? and second. do i need to remove everything and put it back to stock for warrenty purposes. even the boost guage i installed? cuz i have that too. help help help... im gonna call the dealer 2morrow.. thanx everyone.

Not sure what the noise is but I would remove the SRI and the BPV and unhook the vacuum line from the BG.
Good luck!

chances r the person prior had a boost controller on it to run higher boost, that would be a good indication why ur gettin smokin at 7 k miles. My buddy is a sales manager at mazda, he told me mazda is VERY good at voiding warranties if they see any aftermarket parts so whatever u can do to concile, MAKE it happen.
As for the noise it can be from the motor mount insert or replaced mount.
Just my 2 cents
