So its the beginning of 2016, and I started this thread to address this issue in a more recent post.
I had been trying to find a fix for the smoking turbo issue on my 1st gen mazdaspeed3. Looked high and low and it seemed the only product I could find wasn't being produced anymore in post from years ago. So I thought I'd share with the community on here
After installed corksport D/P, racepipe, HPFP internals, hypertech tune and their SRI I started to experience this smoking turbo issue.
As y'all may have figured out a oil catch can is not the solution. This problem stems from un-equal pressure on the turbo seals in the K04, and the case's poor design in keeping pressure from building in the block. Enter these guys;

I think the shop is Torq motorsports, out of Washington state near seattle. Not far from Corksport I think. Maybe its you seattle guys that cant get enough of Mazdaspeed's who knows.

Their PCV fix I think was probably originally for the Big turbo guys?? Either way it works, and its 30$.
All my smoking turbo issues at idle are gone. I mean GONE. No more smoking at idle. And my oil consumption seems to have stabilized at a much slower rate than before.
Not only that but the car seems to be running harder. Probably the lack of oil in the gas (which lowers octane) which would cause timing to retard due to knock.
I'm not a hardcore tuner, just someone who can tell you his car is running way smoother and faster.
Gone is the smoke, the oil burning smell, the oil consumption, and my constant anxiety about the zoom-zoom BOOM from knock
Every mazdaspeed owner should call and order one of these units im telling you. My 2 cents (nana)(nana)
