Got mine back few days ago, and you are absolutely right... it DEF pulls harder. You can actually hear the change in the sound of the turbo spooling too. If anyone in the Long Island (NY) area is reading this with smoking turbo, take it to Bright Bay Mazda. As long as you have your maintanance...

I got my car back from mazda yesterday. They installed a new turbo for me and it sounds sweet! I have close to 44k miles so they had to do it under powertrain warranty. Only thing I had to provide was maintenance records.

the new turbo sounds sweeeeeeeeet

Has anyone ziptie the damn thing? Just kicking around ideas. It is beginning to leave deep scratch marks on my intake.

I agree I have CPE full cat back exhaust btw. I wanted to sell my car in few months but I know smoking turbo topic will come up when the buyer asks. I just wanted do my due diligence and fix it

My assumption of no boost was originally becasue I had the typical smoking problem since last year. The car drove fine until I hit 3k RPM'ish WOP and the car just stops as if it there was no power what so ever. (This never happened until that day btw) There were other assumptions such as hydro...

Hows the new turbo? Did the smoking stop?

Okay for some update. I took the car to Bright Bay Mazda and they approved my warranty work. They are in the process of ordering me a new turbo. From the looks of other members, this new turbo doesn't smoke. Let's hope so. I'm just surprised they approved it with the mods that I have. I did...

My co-worker has no smoke......so far. He has MS cat back, K&N CAI. I made an appointment next weds for them to take a look at and possibly have a new turbo installed. I filed a complaint with BBB for the bad gas @ that particular gas station. That'll teach them to take good care of their...

I picked up the car last night and it drives fine but I still notice smoke. I have no idea wtf the service guy was smoking. Nice guy and all but the smoke is SO damn obvious. I'm going to take a day off so I can be at the dealership and SHOW it to the service advisor. My co-worker of mine has...

So I just called my dealership and they said the car is running fine. They could not duplicate both problems: smoking turbo and my car running rough with no spool. Apparently it is running well. They said that it can be becasue I put in bad gas.....really really bad gas. If that is the case...

What's up guys, I've had the car for 2 years now with 42k miles on the odo. The turbo started smoking lightly a year ago and recently it started smoking heavily. Took it to the dealer twice and they could not locate the problem. I took my car to get an oil change over the weekend, and as I was...

I read that even if i put a reworked K04 turbo, it'll still smoke due to the design of our turbos... So I am guessing used turbo other than K04? If I put a different turbo... do I have to change other internals? man I wish there was an easier way! lol In the meantime I'm going to try to find...

Hi guys So here's my dilemma. I have 07 model (40k miles) with the following mods: Cp-e full cat back (from turbo to the end with one cat) Cp-e Xcel CAI SU boost tubes SU REM My car started smoking couple of months back and it wasn't THAT bad. Now, when I come to a complete stop for more than...

and to think I was the only one with this CAI problem. I have Cp-E also...

PM'd interested in the set of hawks

gotcha the clunky noise was no joke though. i thought my shocks broke I just brought my car back from the shop after getting belt tension assembly fixed... and my cp-e intake is falling off. Last thing i wanted was another expensive repair... Im waiting for the weather to warm up so i can...

kind of sort of new to the forum. Just got tires replaced with goodyear gt's mounted on OEM. Going to order some hawks... I also got my belt tension assembly fixed under factory warranty...(belt was making weird noises)....My sway bar end links were also tightened

I just had my tires replaced, and during the process, the mechanic noticed the same issue.. my end link bolts were lose. I thought it was only me :wtf:

LOL i was enjoying the beautiful view
