Funny, I sure will...
Jordan,
I has asked in the MS6 thread about smoking and turbo seals. Does this conclusion apply to our turbo as well. Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? Or do you think I should wait and see if their is a recall for the turbo seals???
The honest answer is that we don't know. I could lie to you and say, "No, it won't happen to you," but we won't know for sure until people start putting miles on these cars.
The only reason we knew about the MS6 smoking is because is happened to one of our customer's cars while it was at our shop. We of course jumped to concclusions and thought we screwed something up, so we contacted the customer, explained the issue, and then drove it to a trusted Mazda dealer to have it checked out. It turned out that we weren't at fault, and that the turbo seals were junk. And surprise, many other people posted on the forums with a similar story shortly thereafter.
Now, I personally haven't heard of this problem on the MS3's. But, even if you do suffer from this issue, it won't hurt anything. It's just an annoyance. The worst part is, despite the fact that Mazda has documented cases of this issue, they still refuse to replace the MS6 turbo seals. So waiting for Mazda's stance on the issue probably isn't going to help much, but I couldn't blame you for being cautious.

You know the saying, "You never know until you ask?" That certinaly applies here, so I'd suggest you give one of the owners a call and ask them about a discount. The guy you'll want to speak with is Josh Adams, and you can reach him at our shop anytime during the day 301-576-6142.
There was some progress on the PnP connectors, but I was too busy to pay attention to the commotion today (things are pretty crazy right now). I'll see if I can get a better rundown of the progress for you tomorrow.
