Issue: Broken Intercooler Pipe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What: If your car sparatically idles or dies after boosting, you may have broken the intercooler to BPV pipe joint.

Why: Mazda used plastic piping for whatever reason it was but in the process, they decided it would be okay to glue the joints together instead of mold them. The stress of boost may cause the joints to break causing a massive vaccuum leak.

How To Fix: Return to dealer. Unless you've blatantly abused the car, most will fix without asking questions.

TSB/M-TIP: Not available.
