Test Pipe, Fuel Pump Internals w/Stage 2 OTS stock speed6?

[zrenine]

So I have an 07 mazdaspeed 6 and I've been running the cobb ots stage 1 maps on a completely stock engine for almost a year now with no problems. I just ordered a Test Pipe from ProTuningLab 2.5inch catless (which from my research is like an ebay or ATP TP) and the CorkSport MZR fuel pump internals. My first question is, do I have a more likely chance of the turbo smoking even if I'm running 5w40? It has never smoked before. And will this be sufficent flow to run the stage 2 OTS maps from either corksport or cobb? I've heard that you need a downpipe. Also, what kind of gains should I expect on completely stock car with stock CBE? The only mods I have done are a CS rear engine mount and Accessport stage 1 91 OTS from cobb and JBR egr delete and 1 step colder autolite plugs gapped at cobb recommended specs. .028 if i remember correctly. Car has just over 72,000 miles and I'm just nervous about the smoking k04 that I've read about. Any insight would be helpful as I am still under warranty and not looking to get too crazy with mods. Thanks!

I have an 09 MS3 and my turbo started smoking at 50k miles. As soon as it started I did research here on the forums. As a result of those searches, I bumped up my idle, added an OCC (which I should have done much sooner) and upgraded the banjo bolt. I haven't smoked since. I'm holding off as long as possible before having to replace the turbo. My hopes are that I caught it soon enough. I ran the Cobb OTS tunes for a while and just recently switched to a FreekTune. I highly recommend not bothering with any more OTS maps and work with Justin. He's running a sale right now and it's well worth the small price. Check out the vendor section for the sale info.

Ots maps are......ok. but an etune is best for long term. I would stick with stage 1 ots until you have other supporting mods and then get an etune. Intake and occ would be the next things I suggest. Change to ngk or denso plugs.
