Mazda 3 mps Turbo question

[Mps2011]

I have a 2011 Mazda 3 mps, 3 weeks old. It might be just me but the turbo doesnt seem to kick in as much as to when i 1st couple of weeks. Do you think there could be somthing up with the turbo or its just that Im getting use to the turbo and thats why i dont think its as poweful? I have only 850km's up and due for its 1000km check up next week, not sure if i should mention it.

If you have been pushing it hard, yeah could be that you're getting used to how the car feels. I too feel as though my car is not as quick as when I first took it for a test drive

Try resetting your ecu

So you can pretty much rule out dirty air filter/MAF sensor based on the low kms. Couple of ideas though.

-What fuel are you running?
-Check your tyre pressures all round, pump them hard (about 40psi is my preference, check what your pressure should be)
-Has the weather (temp) warmed up a bit of late you reckon? This makes a difference.
-Are you considering mods or keeping it stock?
-You could reset the ECU as suggested above, provided you don't require a stereo code (not sure on the new MPS's)
-The MPS is a quick car, unfortunately one does get used to it after a while, might be the case. I have a '09 CBR600RR that'll knock your socks off if you've never ridden it before, but now I'm used to it.

This is the first (of many) moment you realize you want to start fitting mods... We've all been/going through it.

+1... go drive a Hyundai for a week, then come back and tell us the MPS still fells slow.

I too felt that the MPS had gotten slow in the almost 12 months I have had it, till I spent a week in a Hyundai accent while my clutch was being done...

I thought that's what dealer courtesy cars were for when you get the MPS serviced.

Hi guys, thanks for the tips and advice. Because the car is only on its 3rd tank of juice, the 1st fill up was mazda's fuel but dont know what it was but was happy with, 2nd tank was Caltex 98 Premium and i was really happy with the km's and performance, 3rd tank was BP Ultimate and it just doesnt feel as good as the other 2 fill ups. Next fill up i will try Shell Vortex just so i can compare all 3 major fuels. I will check pressure in tyres and yes it is starting to warm up in sunny brisbane. Next week i take it back to mazda for its 1000km "check up". Thanks guys.
