he didn't have the int-x.

I'd still like to know how one can blame GReddy for a blown engine when you're not using their fuel management. What remaining part from the greddy turbo is to blame, and why?

It was an HKS PF Con V Pro.

Bad hoses, missing parts, **** poor customer service. Those are what I blame Greddy on. Not to mention when I did run it with their FMU it ran like garbage. Other than that they were just peachy.

Really no conclusion. Everything was running the way it should. Could have just been a defect in the engine, but Mazda wouldn't cover it now. It's way out of warranty.

to put a different spin on this thread a question for Fanman : how does it feel to be driving an N/A car again after having the turbo ?

It's OK. Honestly, I didn't drive it very hard to begin with. I just wanted some more mid range punch when I had the turbo put in. I don't drive the car very hard now. I'm a bit jaded with all that has happened. let alone it is a near brand new 06' motor with about 700 miles on it. So I am babying it.

I don't have Interceptor X, I had the HKS PF Con V Pro unit. But if you read my post, you pretty much know how I feel about the Greddy kit. Since you already have a Mazsport product. I would tell you to save your money and get the Mazsport kit.
