Does anybody know what kind of turbo the mazda speed 3s run?

I was just curious because My friend is a service advisor for a mazda dealer and he has one with only 2k on it. The customer was complaining of blowby and one of the techs changed it thinking the seals were gone. He offered to give it to me but I wasnt sure if its of any use. I wandered what kind of flange they used and if they could be mounted on a DSM I remember looking at it awhile back and it looked to be mounted backwards from the DSM so wasnt sure it would clear. I own a 95TSI awd w the t25

Warner-Hitachi K04 turbo; the same unit found in the Mazdaspeed6.
Power balance is supported by a 79 trim 50mm turbine stage with an Inconel shaft-wheel mated to a 16.5mm A/R Niresist iron turbine housing. Maximum turbine speed is over 165,000rpm with a peak exhaust gas temperature in excess of 990 degrees Celsius.
It runs roughly 16psi..

good to know. The cx7s also are boosted. They run the same setup as the SPEEDs. I think our CX was like 246 hp awd. It was quick for a crossover

Take it! It's free. If you can't use it sell it to someone who can.
