Not everyone can go out with style like Maisonvi man..... I did my best though! You know what it is like to burn more oil then gas at wot too right? Not always a wonderful experience but definitely gets people looking! haha

Yeah he is going to still be way down on power compared to a healthy motor but given he hasn't probably felt it at a good compression it will feel fixed to him at least lol I drove mine until it smoked like a freight train at wot and decided it was time ** insert piston with missing ringland **

One thing about making good power again is it could be hard on a half good engine. Hopefully it works well for a while though!

Glad you found the issue, and also sorry it is probably the ecu. Curious if a reflash from mazda would fix it. Might bs worth asking about it via phone or whatever with a local mazda dealership.

This could be a good thing to reset it all. I have heard of early on when the speeds first came out people had issues with it going into limp mode which I think is basically like what you're describing

Honestly all this leads to some sort of tune/ecu/electrical issue imo man idk

Have you actually removed the turbo to check for issues with it? When trying to boost did your AFRs go stupid rich or anything of this nature?

I still think it must be ecu related. Hopefully you don't spend so much screwing with the current problem that you can't replace the motor if it turns out to be the issue.

Glad you joined man. Just hit me up if you have any questions! Welcome to the best Speed forum around! :)

Curious to see where my gtx3576r lands me at the 30-35psi range. Hopefully similar to this!

I am stumped as well. Hopefully it it is figured out but I will tell you now that pulling the head on this platform requires you to re-time the engine and buy lots of new vvt stuff so might as well pull the motor at that point. Just my opinion but all that stuff is easier to do out of the car...

Have you tried flashing a different map onto the car? Sometimes weird things can happen when a tune messes up. Obviously you're way beyond that at this point in the mechanics of it but just curious. Honestly seems like an electrical issue more than a mechanical one to me. Why else would it not...

So there are warm parts of Canada year round like we have in Florida or TX? Interesting

Good news about halfway freezing to death while working on your car is that you usually don't feel nearly as much pain at the moment of impact lol P.S. -- This post excludes all Canadians on here as they withstand abnormally cold weather on a daily basis)

ST mani is much better/even flow than the stocker

I might end up having to just weld the adapter on but welding stainless to cast isn't ideal at all obviously lol

Yeah that's true didn't think about that so good point.bi used blue but we will see idk.

Well because I want to know if it is the material that sucks or the bolts loosened and it failed. If it fails again I will know not to use this stuff but that $3 gasket is probably $10-12 by the time you ship it and it isn't in my garage already. That is the perks of using this gasket material...

So I pulled the exhaust manifold and lo and behold it is the wastegate adapter gasket. I think the bolts loosened up and then it blew out the gasket material as it isn't a stainless or copper gasket. I'll give the bolts an ugga dugga and a healthy portion of blue loctite along with a new...

Lol I am not someone who necessarily needs instant gratification but sometimes I'm more on the lines of enjoy a bit of the journey, hate some of the journey, and then just glad I finally made it to the end of the journey to drive the dumb sucker hahaha
