Yea... and I thought about just switching to the 5w40 and seeing if that worked.... but I said screw it. If I can get a free turbo out of the deal... why not? Take the mods off... get the new turbo.... now I will switch to 5w40.

Talked to the service writer this morning and he informed me my hot rod should be done this afternoon, unless something goes terribly wrong. YES!!!!

Are you going to mount a mirror on your dash so you can view live data with it stashed there? Someone on here has a great thread about a way to mount this utilizing a cellphone holder from walmart for like 9 dollars. Ran the wire right up through the vent. Thats where I have mine.... minus...

Is there a pretty noticeable difference with these?

Yea... how can you tell what revision you have?

I was stressed cause I had only seen it do it once or twice and wasnt sure if they would be able to replicate the smoking. Therefore telling me " everything is fine, have a nice day". I only have about 500 miles of warranty left, so it would have been easy for them to push me right out of that...

Yea... im pretty excited

WOohoo. Dealership just called and they are replacing the turbo under warranty. No questions asked. didnt even ask to see maintanence records or anything. They even have one sitting in their inventory... how nice.

Is an intercooler full of oil normal with this problem though?

Oh i saved the stock settings when I first installed and put it back to the saved stock settings when i took it there. I was under the impression they could still see that?

So service advisor just called and informed me that he was able to get it smoking. They said my intercooler was FULL of oil? Said more than likely im looking at a totally new turbo system. As long as they dont pull the ecu data and notice the AP..... cross your fingers!

Well I dropped it off and all the service guy said was "Well, theres gonna be a lot of hoops to jump through and just leaving it here with us will at least get one foot off the ground on the first hoop". He didnt even want to see it smoke while I was there, just said we will call you today and...

This just seems too good to be true....... What exactly does this look like and how hard is it to remove and replace?

Hmmmm.... first turbo... first mazda.... im lost. Damn I hate being a newb.

And while checking this..... what is it we should be looking for? And where can one purchase a new one of these?

I have both my cats, 49,xxx miles and it just started.

I shouldnt say I was able to get it to do it.....it just did it, and I was in a parking lot waiting for a friend and noticed it in the rear view mirror.

Well today is the day. Gotta take the beast in at 3pm. I was able to get it to smoke last night and caught it on video so hopefully it will do it again while im at the dealer!

No... but I would avoid it like the black plague. Just my .02.
