Hi everyone,
Im new to the forums, just test drove a mazdaspeed 3 on the weekend, 2009, red, and i LOVED IT. I live 4 hours away from any mazda dealer, so when i was in the city i had to. And now im on the verge of a big purchase the wife just needs to come down with me to sign the papers (course i need time off work so i can get the car). But i noticed something. The car was quick, very quick ( I dont think the sales person was too happy with me as im pretty sure that that test pilot car wasnt broken in just yet for that) but i gave her WOT. But once the car reaches around 5500 RPM there is a major power loss. Now is there a boost cut off, or something of the sort to insure people like me dont ruin the car? or is there something thats holding the car back. I have looked and looked ( and i bet the answer is right in my face) but i havnt seem to been able to find a topic on this. If anyone can direct me to the topic of even explain why this power loss is happening that would be great thanks everyone. Happy modding.
