Sequential boost problem. Thinking about going NON. Advise??
I discovoered the reason my secondary turbo isnt engaging is becuase the selenoid next to the secondary BOV, the one mounted on the Y pipe is broken. A piece of it broke off, and now the secondary turbo doesnt engage.
Anyway, by eliminating it i could go to Non sequential i think. Thats what i was told anyway. What else do i have to do to go NON?? is this a good idea? how long does the process take??

Shell out the cash for the solenoid. Going non or single defeats the purpose of having an FD. If I wanted something like that, I would have bought a WRX. Just my opinion. Some guys love single and non sequential.

IF you know the cause and were happy before, just fix the problem. IF the cause is unknown, or you weren't happy beforehand, just go nonsequential. Myself included, every FD owner I've converted a car for was ecstatic about the results and said they'd never look back, especially once I explained that they now had 4 vacuum hoses under the intake instead of 74.

yeah, i think i will just fix it. It is really easy to get to, i just thought id see if anyone liked the non sequential setup. I know ive heard of a lot of ppl doing it, but appearantly the sequential works better.
Anyway, would mazda sell me one??

Hey man....I have done the full non-sequential setup already and love the results. However if you need that part I have all of my parts in a box and I know that I have the valve or solenoid that you need. Take a picture and post the part that you need I can easily have it handy for you in a couple of days. Just let me know!

People always seem to get so worked up about this, the facts are: in hard driving, you will almost always be above 4500 rpm, either in road racing or drag racing. Auto-x is the only type of aggressive driving where you will be below 4500 rpm. The advantage of seq is that you actually have good throttle response in town driving and on the highway without having to be revving at 3500+ rpm all the time. The advantage of non-seq is that it is a much more reliable and consistent setup, but then the car is less fun to drive in "normal" driving.
Any other questions, please use the search function, all of your questions have been answered/debated ad nauseum in here...

Another advantage of nonsequential **COULD** be increased gas mileage, if you can keep yourself out of boost. For instance, on a sequential car, you have a low end surging feeling at the least application of throttle. Nonseq. gets rid of this surge, and makes the car a bit more hesitant to boost. IT's easier to drive, more linear, predictable, and more like driving a standard single turbo car, like an FC.
