just ordered a new turbo!

[Speed3Max]

Well the dealer did for warranty work! haha.. sorry for the false excitement.
I brought it in today and had it smoke for them, they ordered the turbo on the spot. I will be brining it back in on Thursday for the work to be done. After that is done, I hope that is all the bad that will happen.

I will begin to mod if there is no further problems. Everything is on order! lol cant wait!!

List of problems:
1. Shifter Cable Bracket (manufactured wrong)
2. Turbo seals gone bad

congrats, you have a good dealer.

Lol, The funny thing about that is the dealer isn't that great. They are actually in the middle of selling it, so they aren't that "on the ball." It seems like no one cares there anymore because the new owner isn't going to bring ALL the techs with him. Supposedly I am having a MASTER SPEED TECH work on my car. With like 34 years of Mazda experience or something like that? But since they know my father and he owns a big Imported Parts business they are pretty nice to me!

I've been trying but there isn't that much out there yet. Just with specific companies.. not like hondas! lol. I also don't want to put any pressure on any other companies that support this website. But I might be able to help with MazdaSpeed Accessories. Like the intake or exhaust or little interior items.

 

[clos561]

do you have exhaust upgrade on ur speed or is it stock?

 

[Speed3Max]

It is stock as of now. I didn't want to put anything on it with the problems that have been occurring. I don't want the dealer to have any excuse to not warranty something.

Have you gotten your new turbo yet? Did it resolve your issue?

 

[Finkle]

hey man, im getting my turbo replaced as well, what part numbers are they going to use for your new turbo and seals?????

 

[bacarl]

also what's the build date on your car, Speed3Max? Should be on a door well sticker somwhere, or on your window sticker.

Pardon the n00b question, but how does one tell if the turbo seal are bad?
(like... what are the symptoms)

 

[knowledge007]

Just to put in my two cents, since my dealer put my new turbo in, I haven't had any smoke as of yet. And of course as you all know, I have the 3" TBE.

 

[Speed3Max]

Turbo came into the dealer... but the gasket set has not.. I am waiting on a phone call...

 

[Finkle]

anyone have part #'s?
