Can you please repost after you have come off your 5-Day-Methamphetamine-Binge.
Ok, my last post was a little harsh. But seriously repost with a more realistic car smell. I doubt Mazda gave the MPS nut-processing capabilities :D
Leaves caught in intercooler?

Leaves or potentially wiring under the intercooler...

lol, yeah check wiring
I had a similar problem with my Rx7 a few years back. First i would get a weird pop noise then a woody smell shortly after. it was an electrical wiring issue under the intercooler. Check your wiring removing the IC is very straight forward.
Not sure about you MPS3 boys but on a 6 you simply remove the plastic cover by releasing the 2 bolts and then the other side pivots out. undo the hose clamp on the turbo and on the intake manifold. it should come straight out. M10 bolts from memory. I've had a FMIC for a while now so I cant remember.
Also, has this occured after the recent deluge we've just had? it might be water log somewhere.
Second idea; When did you last replace your cabin filter?
