    Mazda CX-5 OEM Parts

    YHM Turbo w/KeyMo mount is what I put on there IIRC. I remain a KAC QDC and SF SOCOM fan.

    Mazda CX-5 OEM Parts

    I have tried to find other methods, but beyond measuring bolt stretch with stoopid expensive kit, measuring drag (torque wrench) is the best way. I am very attentive to torque and bolt stretch, by extension, when building/assembling or maintaining weapon systems. This is the last one I did, for...

    Threads season and torque to angle changes before stabilizing again after run in. I see this on barel nuts and muzzle devices on m4s when assembling.

    MotorTrend 2021 Toyota RAV4 or Mazda CX-5?

    No roof leak yet, but it is a bad design. Awd is very meh. The chassis isnt as rigid as the cx5. Those two things are very important to me. Cx5 has improved too. Mirrors got a legit tsb. Cold weather limp mode is gone. The latter was part of the tbing that made me trade it.

    The Stelvio I drove didn't really do a whole lot the CX5 didn't, and it felt laggier and less crisp in general. I'm sure it pushes less under neutral corner entry, but...okay... The CX5 is large enough by far. The Edge, my ex gf had one, very poor quality vehicle. As noted, the ST isn't any...

    Reliability with those as well as the tuned CX5 is an issue, but I drive a bit less now since I changed roles at work.

    I'm actually going back. The AWD in the GTR is better, and the chassis is more rigid. -OTHERWISE- The Prime was better.

    I've already got over 10K on my Prime. I had 80K on my 2019 GT Reserve when I traded it. Had 106K on my 2016 CX5 that I bought with 28K midway through the 2015 year.

    Thinking about 2022 CX-5 Turbo

    This is not cause to distrust turbos. Just be leery of first production years of anything. Mirror motors come to mind...

    Thinking about 2022 CX-5 Turbo

    This is not s turbo issue. People point to a turbo as an issue. I have yet to see a failure from one on the 2.5T mazda. What you referenced are failures of other components, also not caused by a turbo, but rather bad assembly or design of that specific item.
