I have no idea why IT leaned out and BOOM..



Ironic thing is I was racing her all summer and No problem.

Then one night I was running kinda late for work.

and some idiot was going like 50mph on 495.



I was being lazy, I didn't downshift and kinda gassed

her in 5th gear tring to pass this asswhipe, then

" PING" and car sounded like the exhaust FELL off.

what a awlful SOUND. WIth black smoke spewing out the

exhaust. Once parked i tried to keep her running, but

she finally died. and wouldn't start back up.



That is a good question. WHY.. I think, because

my turbos were running sequential. and when I gased

her in 5th. the 2nd turbo came online and SPIKED.

I am guessing, I have no idea.. I have a full exhaust

DP, MIDPIPE, CB, SMIC, INTAKE, upgraded fuel

Pump (nippon Denso) with PFC w/commander.



I have 135K on the original motor and turbos, so I figure

it was matter of time...



So how is a REMAN any differnt from Malloy Mazda, or ATKINS to PINAPPLE?? isn't a Reman a reman?

OK not to sound totally stupid..



Isn't a REMAN, theoretically a rebuild???



So with Pinapple or Atkins. YOu send your blown motor

and they rebuild it???



OK guys anything else besides The TURBOS i should

look into replacing while the Motor is pulled????



Is a FLY WHEEL neccessary?? Its the original.

how about stuff like starter, Radiator and other

Pocket draining STUFF????
