    Corksport turbo for stock 2007 with 160k?

    Thanks for those tips. I just did a second valve cleaning recently. Also installed CC (but not vented) and another new PCV valve. I dont need anything extreme. I need reliability as this is a DD. Doesn't have the punch it did when it was newer. Likely the cheap Chinese turbo I put in it when...

    Corksport turbo for stock 2007 with 160k?

    CST4 is the entry level turbo from Corksport. They have a larger option. I just want a little bump and dont want power dropping out at 5k. The tune...I suppose CorkSport can tune or has generic tune for that turbo? Not sure.

    Corksport turbo for stock 2007 with 160k?

    Hey Guys, I have a 2007 with 160k Ive owned since day1. Only mods are KWv3 and Mazdaspeed CAI. She runs great, had timing chain changed 80k miles ago. Burns maybe 1/2 quart between 5000k oil changes. Original clutch. I'm on the second OEM turbo. Think its too risky to put a Corksport CST4...

    TF did I just break?

    I think Damon sent me the wrong bracket for the trans-mounted Stage 1 catch can for my 2007 Speed3. I see nowhere that the L shaped bracket will screw into on the trans and have enough room for the OCC to stand upright. Additionally they sent me 2 bolts...a 10 and a 12. The 12 is too big to fit...

    Coolant Alternatives?

    According to Mazda parts counter (Dan at Ourisman Mazda in MD) any Speed3 produced *after* December 17, 2007 uses FL-22. Before that it *does *not use FL22. AllData contradicts this, and states I need FL-22. AllData isnt incorrect but there is a caveat. As per the TSB 01-033/07, you CAN use...

    Thermostat or temp sensor?

    I'm having this same issue. My 2007 with 130k miles on it just did the same thing for the first time. On the highway, cruising for 3 hours and all of a sudden the temp gauge goes down to the 3rd hash mark from the bottom, stays there a couple minutes and then goes back to normal temp. Does...
