turbocharged RX-8 HELP !
Alright so before winter i purchased a 2004 Mazda Rx8 turbocharged, the car ran great for the first week or 2 minus the fact i got 180K per tank.
i noticed the car kept loosing power over a weeks time, then the blowoff valve noise got quieter and quieter, i need help guys MY REX IS SLOWER THEN A HONDA CIVIC RIGHT NOW !
i tried changing the coils and spark plugs that didn't help all that did was get rid of the engine light that was on !
apparently the car was tuned by Mazda Maniac ECU tune, the seller told me.
i dont know what to do i live in Richmond hill and i need to find a place that can help me fix my car, i dont know any places around that deal with turbocharged RX-8's!!!
the car engine mods are:
Engine
Greddy Turbo-Kit
Greddy E-01 Boost Control/Data Display Unit
Greddy Type-RS Blow-off-Valve
CobbTuning AccessPort
Mazsport 3-inch Cold-Air-Intake
Brand-New Vibrant 4-ply Silicon Couplers
McKinney Raceworks Oil-Catch Can
Pictures of the car can be seen here : http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/...0&id=501690977

Im not giving up i just want it to run the best that it can run and i want to get it done by someone who really knows what there doing. I will try checking all the CLAMPS that i can. I just really want this car running the way it was when i got it i loved the car !

the car seems to idle fine, i will check the clamps and tighten them all now that i can tighten,
so no body knows a shop around this area ?
what do you mean what HG does it idle at ?

The car was bought from US I think...
Best bet is pay the $$ and let Mazdee fix it.
MM will definitely be able to fix it but he is not in Canada...so your SOL.
Lesson learned: Next time ask in the forum before you buy these "exotics"
