finally getting tuned today at mac

Haven't voided it YET, is what you mean, just wait til they have to pay for something, especially with no cat and a turbo problem, it's only a matter of time.

[reconbygod12]

haha were going to see they already dont like me because i make them find answers to how every part effects something and then when they give some dumbfound answer i explain the truth so we shall see how the turbo goes

[Eclipse]

but you dont know the truth, so that poses a problem...


Learn why your car smokes first, THEN go talk to Mazda...

Heres a start in the right direction:

ocd i must say thanks i am going to order the part and try it but is this part somehting that is hard to install on the vehicle?

[~Barn~]

I'm guessing I should I get one of those as a "preventative", even though I don't have a smoker. (?)

[erod550]

I don't know if I'd order anything from PTP anymore. Something happened and they went MIA from MSF.org and are now defunct, or at least that's what tbot was saying.

I have not been in the "scene" for a while, so I do not know the facts about PTP and where they stand currently. Im sure the part can be found somewhere..there were many people buying something at Home Depot or a hardware store that was identical to the piece PTP was selling. All it is is a restrictor. Also, anybody can install this piece in a matter of minutes, even my 8 year old daughter.. movovr has one installed i believe, he may be able to speak up on difficulty

[reconbygod12]

welll i guess we shall see then i am searching for people getting the part at home depot and that, but it seems taht the mazdaspeed forum is down once again

[tbot]

ptp filed banktrupecy, so **** them haha...nd the only true fix for a smokey turbo is a new one thats not a factory ko4...

[erod550]

It's strange that an '09 is smoking. Most '08.5-'09s don't have the smoky turbo issue. I haven't had any cats for like 8 months and 10k miles now and no smoke, at least not at idle. WOT flat foot shifts however.... lol.

[reconbygod12]

so if that were a route i would have to go what would be best upgraded turbo i was looking at garrets, but i know their great quality and also high because of the name

[tbot]

that just opened a whole new can of worms...but if u don't really wanna do much else, then an atp gt28 is the best way to go, bolts right up and ur golden. if u wanna make more power...go to a t3 style turbo for better flow.

There was a guy on msf selling a bunch of PCVs. Matt Damond, I think. MAybe once they're back up, you can hit him up for one or two. I think he wants $15 each.

[reconbygod12]

all i know is i am going to try the pcv and try to take other measures before i have to get a new turbo because i really dont want to fork more money into my car. i fianlly have it where iw ant it and then bam something else goes wrong, not to mention some lady was drivng in the emergeny lane and kicked rocks up towards my window and now its cracked awesome job colorado

[movovr]

The PTP pcv fix literally takes 5 minutes. You pull the line off the top right side of the crankcase, drop the "pill" in and tap with a mallet so it's snug. Put the line back on and your done.
