actually, mazda did this stuff on purpose most likely... remember when the third-gen RX-7 was cancelled for the american market back in '95? that was mostly due to mazda taking massive losses doing warrantied repairs on thirdgen's at the dealerships, they had a lot of problems servicing this car from the beginning... many of the blown motors and torn up turbo systems that mazda had to eat the cost on were due to aftermarket electronics and the like, so mazda doesn't really want too much of a performance aftermarket for this one. if you notice, even though the RX-8 has been out a while in japan, no heavy modding scene has arisen at all, and thats rare for tokyo tuners..
That sucks, normally I would assume a turbo voids the warranty
