First of all, id like to thank everyone here for working as hard as they do for the rest of us MSP owners. I believe that if people didnt write letters, email, or call mazda then mazda would have sat on thier ass with this hesitation issue.
With that being said, i am still having the hesitation issue with my car and ive read here about a few others who are still having it. I really hate complaining about it but this is the first brand new car i have ever bought, and i want my investments to be good ones. I use my car as a daily driver and ive noticed that after the flash i now shift at 4000rpm as opposed to 3000rpm pre-flash. This concerns me a bit, i really dont want to be taxing my turbo and motor this much when im just cruising around town. Now the turbo will spool no matter what which means the life of it and possibly the engine may not last quite as long as they should.
The way i see it is that mazda didnt confront the real issue our cars were having (the air/fuel ratio), so they decided to advance the timing which doesnt actually fix anything (not to mention that it hurts the tuning potential). Its like feeding us an apatizer but not serving the main course, which is what we wanted.
I really dont know what to do, i dont want to wait in vain for mazda to actually fix this thing. All i know is that i am putting a hell of a lot of money into buying this car and its not performing to my standards at all.
Is anyone else out there in the same boat?

It performs a little differently than pre flash but I watch my boost gauge and the boost still comes on at the same rpms as before the flash.
