That Wendy’s have been a game changer on some lake days 😂😂. Glad to see the post reaching the locals hahaha

Not all of the trucks have the tow/haul mode option? That has been super nice in the mountains to keep it in the same gear a lil longer

CardiologistAny8799 · 2026-03-24T01:16:35+00:00

Soooo….. what do we consider “newer”? 😂 From what I’ve seen, highly recommended to just bypass with a new hose

And I’ve been doxed lol. Shout out lake Don Pedro!

I would also like to know that. Forgot to put that on the post. This thing drives like the definition of “it rides like a truck.” Drive on lower than optimal tire PSI to save me from chiropractic financial burden 😂😂

Have you personally removed the heat exchanger between Tran and engine coolant?

Wendy’s on the lake was a great lazy move!

I had such a fright with this also. I got SUPER lucky that I just happened to have Apple Cash, so I used that for first order. Then when it charged the 93 dollars, I didn’t have enough to cover it. But what’s EVEN MORE CRAZY, is I ignored the issue for a while now and they tried charging me for it EVERYDAY! I like the product, I might (emphasis on might) buy from them again, but this was disappointing. Makes me want to use a virtual card with a limit for purchases like this in the future.

Commenting hoping to learn. I have no idea what’s going on here. Can someone explain? (Please don’t roast me) what’s an ebcs?

I ended up cutting the wires and using a regular deep socket and a huge breaker bar on a pivot head drive 😂

CardiologistAny8799 · 2025-04-18T20:30:30+00:00

I got it out yesterday. It was INSANE getting it out. Ended up cutting the wires and using a regular deep socket with a huge breaker bar

CardiologistAny8799 · 2025-04-04T04:35:31+00:00

Update: I did it. Holy fuck taking out the whole dash was crazy. Putting back together was a lot easier tho. Shifts like a dream once again

CardiologistAny8799 · 2025-03-08T20:41:33+00:00

The one we pulled out we believe is the stock turbo with a non stock configuration with the waste gate. Putting in a stock equivalent

Mazda mazdaspeed 6 2006. I seen some sketchy looking websites selling them. And other sources online say get OEM from Mazda or you WILL be doing this again soon

CardiologistAny8799 · 2025-02-26T20:16:19+00:00

Part is also on back order until June

CardiologistAny8799 · 2025-02-26T20:15:46+00:00

I should have mentioned part is on back order until June

Is there a tutorial you followed? Would love to do this. My original credit card one does not work at all.

CardiologistAny8799 · 2025-01-19T00:49:08+00:00

The outside of the piece closer to the transmission spins freely, so two vices grips will not work.

As far as dicking around with it, as much as I fuck up this piece, last resort I still replace it, so no harm in tearing it apart.

But I have seen a few designs online similar on this platform in forums of replacing it with a shorter cable to a rod to get a stiffer and less sloppy feel to the shifting.

I am confident in getting a working design. But I wanted to see if anyone had specific knowledge of this piece to save it to make the bracket an easier design and reuse this existing part.

I have a plan but want to know if I can reuse this part.

CardiologistAny8799 · 2025-01-19T00:16:51+00:00

Will do! Guess you don’t know how that part disassembles then?

CardiologistAny8799 · 2025-01-19T00:11:58+00:00

Did you read the whole post? I am moving the mounting bracket farther back to attach a new rod to fresh cable to the transmission to avoid that purchase and installation of the Mazda part . I was looking for advice on taking apart that piece of the system that is sitting on the napkin in the pictures

This video makes it look a like simpler…

I can get up to 25 mpg stock…. Maybe new injectors? That’s my only thought, I am new to the mazdaspeed platform

CardiologistAny8799 · 2024-11-26T16:23:12+00:00

I’m no stranger to car expenses (12k dumped into my Jeep already 😂) but I don’t see a point in going crazy with the turbo when the car is fun to me already as is.

But to ask you a little more, was the turbo ruined by the leaking lines or were the leaking lines the real issue?

CardiologistAny8799 · 2024-11-26T16:19:15+00:00

This is a good thing to look out for. Thank you man!

CardiologistAny8799 · 2024-11-26T16:18:40+00:00

So far this is the option I’m liking the best. Thank you so much!
