My Mazda dealer also refuses to flash, or at least the Lead Mazda tech. He says that all the flash did was **** up the cars worse in most cases. Hes had a lot of people return, but none of them seem to be on this board.
Well if you know anyone that has a NOS kit you can make a test pipe where you can install a NOS nozzle into it and then disconnect the pipe from the throttle body and place the test pipe onto the intake piping and make sure its sealed. Cap off the other end where the air filter is and then spray the nos just for a second or two. If you see any NOS leaking out than you know you got a boost leak there.. I think I saw this done I a mag. I think it was sport compact or import tuner. Well what ever mag it was it was this months..
