If you aren't on mazdaspeedforum . o r g join. They are a lot more technical than over here and you've got guys who are pushing a lot of power. And you get to see Darksun race Laloosh in video. Hey Darksun, did you remember to take a dump before that race?

LOL. Man if the wheels I have on now came in on time I wouldn't have had to gut my interior. I had to shave weight or rotating mass. I had loss to laloosh BAD before so I knew what I was up against. Anything less then what I did I would have lost. Then the son if a bish got a 35r now I got a 60-1 sitting in a box here next to my couch waiting to go on for the finale in our best of three races.

downpipe is not catted. I am completely catless.

Darksun, what would you do in my situation? Isn't the turbo seals leaking hurting my turbo, engine, and performance? I don't have the skill to pull the turbo myself and don't have the time/money to not have my car (I literally need it EVERY day and I commute 40 miles). Would those krank vents help? What would you do in my situation??

Btw, you the same darksun who's been racing laloosh?

leaking turbo isn't hurting anything. are you losing a lot of oil? is there oil in the intake tract? have you tried a CC, and/or heavier oil? does it spool slow, not hit as high a level of boost, or smoke so badly its dangerous for cars behind you?

Last night was only the second time it was smoking blue and bad. I was in traffic and the light changed green.... I went through and no one else moved cause they couldn't see through the smoke!!!! Gonna try to have the oil changed out tomorrow. I will let you guys know what happens.

If this doesn't work I have 2 choices. Back to stock and pray for warranty work or PG turbo rebuild. But I have 2 questions about the PG turbo.
1. People say it still smokes. Any personal experience, speak up please.
2. At this point I don't want/need more power, I would just prefer to have my car running right, even if just stock. Will the factory tune handle a rebuilt K04 or can this run me into a potential zoom zoom boom?
