    Fuel pump confusion

    I have a weird question: I have been experiencing some fuel cuts and lean spots with the current mods I am running. I.E. MS CAI, FMIC, Cobb DP, AP stage 2+ I had the joy of experiencing some bucking and gradual loss of power. I contacted Cobb with my data logs and they told me I would...

    Dealer Denying Smoking Turbo Repair

    So I don't know a lot about turbos, only how they work. But if it is a problem with the tolerance of the seals; why not rebuild it with a stronger seal with a higher tolerance with out switching the exhaust side to a Garret. BNR's option seems really good, but the price on the custom turbo it...

    Dealer Denying Smoking Turbo Repair

    Well here is my update. I decided to Call Mr. Paul Steinburner of Mazda Customer relations regarding my complaint. It's not a matter of my car being modded. I don't mind forking out money for a better turbo. I just don't want to keep a car with a "branded" warranty. I think that is going to...

    I have a Previous R.0. for the problem with ZERO mods...So think I have a pretty good shot. Anyways, your contradicting yourself, My mods didn't cause the problem if your car is stock and is smoking as well.

    Has anyone ever thought that PTP's "engineering analysis" is wrong? My car has had the fix for almost 2 months now and is smoking back to normal

    Has anyone tried to have a company rebuild the turbo using beefer seals? A less expensive possibilty? I know of a couple of company's in the area that have a good reputation on rebuilds.

    Calling all MS3 Owners with smoking Turbos...

    advice: Re:oil change records. Mazda is requiring you have each receipt for oil and or filter dated and with the mileage. If any of that is missing they won't warrenty the part. That being said it all depends on the Mazda Rep that they talk with. Our just happened to be a real duche. Plus...

    Calling all MS3 Owners with smoking Turbos...

    Warrenty law states that the aftermarket part has to directly affect the failure of the part that needs to be replaced. The Better Buisness Bureau is doing an investigation. Has any one bought that $25 dollar PCV fix from PT-performance? Does it actually work or is it just false hope?

    Oil changes were just a band-aid, 5-40 helped for 3 days! Im so dissapointed in this company. Not only that, but we have a 2008 cx-7 in the family can't wait to see what happen with that.

    Thanks...I also have talked with a lawyer who specializes in consumer affairs. If I can get some more mazda owners to come forward, who were also denied repairs, We could file a class action suit at no cost to us. But mostly likely I am just wishful thinking. The BBB is there to resolve...
