Notice: To All With Screeching Turbo's

Has anyone checked there oil levels lately. I did when I i first got the car, after about 800 miles and noticed it was extremely low on oil. Well turns out one of the fittings that feeds oil into the turbo was lose and leaking so it was losing oil along with probably not lubricating the turbo very well. Took it in and they tightened it down for me. It might be a place to check out for some people.
 
Hey N1XRR me and my buddy bought the orange and yellow one from John Finger. I got the blazing yellow mica and live in greenville and my friend got the spice orange and lives in greer. He has blue computer chip graphics on his and I have orange tribal graphics on mine compliments of ole mister finger himself. I rang him up for $325 worth of vinyl..
 
Here is what was wrong with my car: The oil feed line to the turbo had a peice of rubber lodged in it preventing the oil from properly lubricating the turbocharger. With a new one in place, the screech seems to be louder, but I watched them check out much oil was running thru the turbo. Maybe its cracked pipeing thats making the noise now? It has changed some and doesn't sound as much like metal-on-metal.

Well, I've had it in my car for a few weeks now and there is still hesitation...but not nearly as much as there was before. Doesn't seem like there is much different from the original. I went back to Mazda on Monday(for a few things) and Jeff said that they are sending out an update, which is aparently a revised version.

BigGun22, I talked to your friend with the Orange car last week and told him to get on here. Glad to see one of you did! Anyway, I think we should get a few MSP owners together to hang out/compare cars. Mine has a screeching sound still which Mazda said is normal.

An update for what?

Aparently a flashed chip with a more refined program, according to Jeff. I've taken a look at the ECU after they replaced it, doesn't look any different than the old one though...
 
So you are running around w/ the proto ecu flash for our vehicles eh?! !!! :eek:

How's it running? Any different besides the "less hessitation" ?
