Say what? Couple hundred?Correct. Couple hundred bucks, tops, and someone like Colorado could now do it if they wanted to and tried...

Rebuild a turbo. It*s not hard. Take it apart, reassemble, slide it back on the piping, bolt it down, done...
Btw, I hope it didn*t come across as a low blow, it was meant as a compliment as I love seeing folks like yourself get around to turning wrenches as much as they can, because honestly most mechanic work isn*t hard, it*s just putting in the time and getting your hands dirty while having the proper tools. Most mechanics are highly overpriced crooks, and go hand and hand with stealerships...
the improved the suspension on the turbo models to match the power.

It's easy when you know how. You can really **** things up if you don't. Some people are good at just figuring out mechanical stuff. Some aren't.
The difficulty of the work isn't the problem. Having the knowledge and the right tools is the key. And sometimes a bit of good luck.
But I agree, it's great to see someone like CD getting into maintaining his vehicle.
Say what? Did you just make that up?
Oh I gotcha. I thought you were saying I could put in a turbo for $200 which piqued my interest...
Guess I should read further back lol.
Say what? Did you just make that up?
Key word, labor, and you got ripped off, too...
You can buy that turbo new for $400, new hardware and all for under $500. $1500 Labor, bangs head...
No, why would you think a 2.0 model would be driven the same way as a 2.5T model? If you buy the 2.5T, you would probably also appreciate stopping and turning performance be enhanced, too, maybe...
Ha, well pretty sure OEM parts are not $400. And I*m pretty sure it*s a several-hour job no matter who does it, so the bill rises fast.
Not arguing you can*t DIY with third party parts, but that*s not a practical option worth quoting for the general forum member.

Frustrating that Mazda isn't "getting that". Even Ford will revise their vehicle's suspension based on the drivetrain. Explorer Sport. So does even Chrysler. SRT Jeep. So does nearly everyone else who makes a "performance" SUV out of a base model SUV. But not ol' Zoom Zoom. Nope. Top of the line model handles worse than the base one (because added weight), probably.
He*s saying he hoped they did, he already knows they didn*t. *Really hope they improved...*
Idk why some of us even try on this site anymore...

What makes you think anyone would think that? OF COURSE they should upgrade the suspension and brakes. But they didn't. Get over it. It's NOT a "performance SUV".
Mazda has different priorities than you. They're trying to figure out how to sell the most cars, period.
I believe the front brakes are slightly larger.
Such a change. I remember when the battlecry was "Mazda is a small niche company and doesnt chase sales volume!"What makes you think anyone would think that? OF COURSE they should upgrade the suspension and brakes. But they didn't. Get over it. It's NOT a "performance SUV".
