Well.... Mine is smoking again... and I've already had my turbo replaced under warranty by Mazda... looks like the new part number still has the same flaw...

You are all freaking ridiculous. Mazda has already acknowledged that they have a batch of turbos with bad seals. Mine was replaced under warranty. Not sure what else can convince you guys....

Yes, the stuff that burns the crap out of your eyes!! FYI, my turbo was replaced under warranty last week! No more smoking for me!

Nope, stock exhaust here with a race pipe and smokes like a freight train at random times....

I can't stand to read this thread anymore.........

Are they going to do a baseline run on the cars stock so we have a good idea of how their dyno reads?

If you're referring to mine... I didn't take the pictures and the guy that took them is still experimenting with shooting cars, so it will take time. Any pictures someone takes will be better than my walmart camera specials... Also, those stock wheels are powdercoated, not painted and the...

Since I'm moving up that way in June, I thought I'd start looking into jobs in the area.... IT Field... Windows Admin for the last 4 years MCSE 2K3 TS/SCI clearance I'd like to get on at the Bangor sub base, or PSNS or similar as my clearance might net me a few more bucks as a contractor...

A couple more from this weekend.....

It doesn't always smoke though... you have to show it to the dealer when it's happening in most cases... Mine only smokes on occasion... maybe once a week for 15 mins or so...

But not everyone is getting screwed. It's funny how Mazda has no problem fixing the turbo on a car with a Full turbo-back on one car, then in another state says the warranty is voided. Why the double standard? They know there is a problem... they should fix it regardless... it has nothing to...

Yes, and as a matter of fact, it probably is. The Catalytic converters do a very good job of masking the issue. And this is obvious when people start modding with racepipes and downpipes that remove the cats. Over time even a complete stock car could show the issue. This of course is after...

Well from what I've seen on the forums over 25 have already been fixed under warranty... with or without mods, TBE's included. I have seen at least triple that number in people that have described the smoking issue. Mazda made a part number change on the 07's to 08 turbo's and that in itself...

Do you have the stock CBE or just the driveline? I need an interior switch if you got the whole car.

I have carbon fiber wheels on my bike.... they aren't cheap either.... http://hiperracingwheels.com/

Get rid of that AWD drivetrain slowing you down!!! (spank) Oh and drain all your fluids... there's probably 50lbs or more in oil and your coolant...

FYI, MOTEC is the crem dele crem, I wouldn't expect them to sell you anything unless you have a race team behind you or VERY deep pockets.

What about COBB's MS3???? LOL! I'd like to see some gold 10 spoke ROTA's on an MS3
