Cheat Codes on MS3 for Maximum Boost?

[Speedy3]

Just like the "Unlimited Ammo" cheat for first person shooters, there has got to be a combination of button presses to disable the boost limiter in 1st and 2nd gear. The SW Engineers for Mazda are of the same breed as the SW designers of Half-Life. They all want hidden, pre-programmed cheats to override design limitations. So, what are they? Do they exist? Why would they only design the SW to require an interface computer to over-ride limitations? Try holding down the DSC button for 10 seconds. What the heck? It goes off and doesn't react anymore until you turn off the car then turn it on again.

My cousin has a Lexus IS 350. They do not have a button to disable DSC as do we. Instead they have a combination of brake and clutch presses that will do it (as evidenced by the change in DSC illumination on the dash, the combination for which was found on the web on the Lexus forum IIRC), much as has been suggested in this thread. I agree that there must be a way for the engineers to quickly disable the boost-disabling feature without having to connect a laptop or input device to the car. It will simply take some curious minds to figure out what the combination is.

Oh, wait, you said MS3, I thought you were talking about the PS3! Then I realized no one's buying PS3's so that couldn't be it!

Now this is what I'm talking about! Thanks Rainman. Since this would be extremely difficult to figure out by trial and error, I don't think we will figure it out. Especially since there isn't a "Full Boost On" light on the dash. We need a little hint from Mazda......

Somehow I don't think Mazda is going to give up the goods. LOL We might need a hint from somewhere to figure it out, but I don't think that it will come from them.

Found another one. Before turning on the ignition, hold down the DSC button. Turn on the ignition, wait a couple of seconds then let off the DSC button. Both the DSC Off and the Traction Control indicators stay lit until you press the DSC button again. I tried driving withe both lit and noticed traction control and DSC are disabled. The first one I posted (holding DSC for 10 seconds) doesn't disable DSC or Traction control, but doesn't allow you to toggle DSC anymore.

When I get a chance (and when the roads are dry), I will try both while logging Boost Pressure in 1st and 2nd gear.

Here's a list of notable qwerks:

1. With Ignition on, hold DSC for 10 seconds. DSC Light goes back off and stays off for the duration of ignition cycle. Cannot toggle DSC anymore.

2. With Ignition off, hold down the DSC button. Turn on the ignition, wait a couple of seconds then let off the DSC button. Both the DSC Off and the Traction Control indicators stay lit until you press the DSC button again.

Just to put an end to the...the Konami code is:

Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A (select) start

Select only if you are playing 2 player.
