oh and they upgraded the warranty on the tranny to 5 and 60k right? Everything i have learned about anything on this car i have had to research. I think when i get her back she needs a deep sound exhaust, and a radio upgrade...any suggestions on those two?

ahh yeah i know that she got a 4-port because they'd have to change around the fuel trims and fuel injectors and all that ****, adjust the pcm or ecu all that **** so im positive it had to be a 4-port

they will not and can not upgrade a 4 port to a 6 port.... you can do it but mazda is not going too..... never..... ever..... you can tell if it is a 4 port by the lack of the two seperate intake runners on the upper intake manifold... only 6 ports have them...
