I just got a recall letter on my 06 rx8 that is turbo'd.

Says Mazda will reprogram PCM, inspect and replace spark plugs and cat converter.

Now my cat is obv fried, it smells like rotten eggs since I haven't been able to afford a midpipe.

Anwyay, do I just take the car there, or should I call and see if the turbo messes it up, or even go for it at all???

 

well, you can take it in if you want but they probably wont perform the recall since you have turbo.

if you need new plugs, they wont swap em, and the cat wont be touched either.
you might as well let em flash the ECU, but thats about all youll get..

 

Ah, dam , was hoping for the new cat, the smell is getting pretty bad lol... (just so i can roast the new one too)

 

FWIW a stock cat is about 1100 dollars...

 

i plan on taking the cat off as soon as i get the midpipe obv
