Must be something with my car then, i land up being in limp mode quite often when i try to gas it after a long period without using the turbo (long period i mean on the highway for 2 minutes or so). Well they told me its me fuel pump now, so i am taking it in on monday to VW. If this doesnt solve the problem, im going to go back to stock and by process of elimination determine whats going on.. cos its frustrating having to pull over on the highway and "REBOOT" my car lol.

You should get your boost limit set to not boost over 1.496 bar because up in jhb if you boost 1.5 bar it goes into limp mode which is protecting the turbo. If your fuel pump has gone make sure they change the camshaft as well, the '05 seem to have this problem. You should also ask the mechanic for the new petrol pump which was changed on the '07 not sure if they change it to the new one by default.

Thanks for the advice... I know im only boosting 1.2 max, but the guys who did the software did say about the fuel pump. I will speak to the mechanic about the camshaft as well.... Im a bit nervous to take the car in with the software and the DV installed. Do you reckon they will give me problems with my warranty?

Like I said, Mazda will never be better than VW, not in 10000 years.

I wouldn't say that... at the current rate studies suggested that within about 3 - 5 years Mazda could be rated as a premium brand such BMW, Audi, Mercedes Benz, etc and the like... and no, I'm not a fan boy, just stating what I read from articles in the motoring world...

I have the same problem with the neutral to first knocking, it only happens if the cars rolling a little bit before you put it in first.

I dont understand your other question but im having a problem with something similar.

If I snap change from first to second theres a flat spot, the revs drop to 3500 so im in turbo territory but theres no thrust...
It only happened recently, is there something wrong or is it normal?
It only happens sometimes...

Except for double clutching what else could I do to fix it? DOnt have faith in this thing anymore:(

no maybe you dont understand what we trying to say. Mazda and Honda might be reliable cars with good CSI ratings, but they will never match the Europian (German) cars in terms of quality and appeal.
