> My turbo has smoked a couple times. Hopefully it will start happening more often so I can get the dealer to reproduce it/replace it. Last 2 times I told them about it they left it idling for hours and wasted all my gas, still didn’t see the smoke :(.

get it on film. i had to go to my dealer twice AND THEN get it on film before they would do anything. and that was only AFTER i called my mazda rep and told them about it.

call your mazda rep. and file a report. they will have an engineer come out to the dealer, like mine and he will check the obv. downpipe/compressor side of turbine for signs of oil
