Well....everything is pretty much off....gauges ..turbo kit....etc. I left all suspension mods on tho....but they should be done with it tomorrow I believe...then I will take it to the dealership and see what they say! Dave from Werks gives the dealership Im going to like 90% of his business (parts wise) so he said he doesn't think it should be a problem. We'll see though.

The truth is that there are a very select few on this site who have actually succeeded in providing good advice that actually works with the 8.
MM is one of them - why he has to be so arrogant with it is something only he knows .
But rest assured if MM says it is right 95% of the time it will be

I do like the fact that MM does his homework.

I wonder what the actual number of people running turbo kits that haven't had a major catastrophe and popped a motor then removed and/or sold are... I know there are at least a few folks out there who have been running kits for 25-30k or more miles though. Makes me scared to get a kit, but *shrug* I really want to try it, and I'm doing my homework well before getting a kit.
If you cant afford to lose a motor (emotionally or financially) you have absolutely no business adding an aftermarket turbocharger/supercharger to your vehicle.
Period.
I don't care who is promising you what and where your warranty sits, or which kit on which car from whichever manufacturer - extracting 30% to 100% more power out of your motor requires financial and emotional responsibility.

Hey guys.....just now getting a response from Mazda and they are going to be giving me a new engine! I am so relieved. Lesson learned for sure. But, I do wish I could be keeping it.
