Dennis I used your word from your quote not my choice but making the point of reference to YOUR quote. Now that...is FUNNY! LOL
But in my case using the wording was for the meaning of what Turbocharger components are which is metal of sorts. Because of that yes metal can become stressed. So while the wording to you may have been a mistake the wording technically speaking is correct in my response even if it was on my part more to copy your word use. LOL
Oh and really unless a Turbocharger is operated in an environment of extreme heat due to performance, lack of oil for cooling or water if that is the case for the cooling set up of the Turbo then on an OEM Turbocharger it is not likely condition would "STRESS" a Turbocharger using it as an average daily driven vehicle.!

Definition of stressed:
What is the stress in metals?
Stress in Metals. Failure can occur by putting the metal under a once-only load greater than it can take or by continually loading the metal cyclically with a high load less than the breaking load (metal fatigue). Stress & Strain in Metals Under Loads Stress occurs when forces pull (tension), push (compression) or act in combination on a material.

A "stressed" Turbo LOL

This turbo failed because the seals inside the core blew and cause engine oil to run through it and into the inductive system causing low power and lots of smoke out the tail pipe.

 

Here is the update guys. I've finally got a non-turbo. I'm so happy!

 

Congratulation on your new MAZDA!

 

Thank you.

 

Congrats! Enjoy your new car!

 

Well said. I don't see any need to accelerate rapidly from a standing start. Maybe occasionally if I am on the shoulder of a highway and need to get back in the right lane or some such situation. But in local traffic? Or from a traffic light? I have no such need. I think the Naturally Aspirated is fine for daily driving and if you are in motion on the highway, you can certainly accelerate from there, and go up grades without much problem. So, despite the sexual pleasure of stepping on a turbo, I don't need it and also rarely go above 3,000 RPM. And with gas approaching $4.00, I really don't want to be pissing away money through my exhaust pipe.

But it depends on your pleasure and needs.

 

This topic seems to be exhausted ( yes a pun ) Based on my personal experiences with automobiles of many makes - Turbo - having initally attracted big attention back in 76 with the Porsche 911-Turbo - which eventually was dubbed just .. " Turbo " as it was relatively rare and to go 0-60 in 5 seconds was considered an act of God back then ....Turbos have become affordable ways to tweak even medeocre vehicles into sports car like performance machines / but often at the sacrafice of short engine lifespan and poor reliability -

Mazda builds great engines ( dont start a rotary debate please ) that hold up well for the $$ - but if I plan on keeping a vehicle into multiples of 100s of thousands of miles and dont want Turbo rebuilding around 100k - I go NA - just as I did with my new 2022-CX/5 NA-CE - I dont need to go any faster , or get tickets , and want to limit my odds of higher maintainence , higher insurance and the temptation which few would forgoe if the option to go faster exists .
One example is the 2011 Mazdaspeed 3 / vs the same year Mazda 3 -2.5 NA. The 2.5 na is a bulletproof 300k engine - and few of my friends with Speed 3s made it past 120k without relatively major engine work ( 2.3 disi ).
Is it the irresistable temptation to lay into the turbo or just that its a turbo ? - Common sense here - But cant find one that regrets buying the Speed-3 and its unanimously lauded as a heck of a great motoring experience for the $$$ - So toss a coin / or Decide what your long term vision of ownership looks like - You wont lose either way if you know yourself.

 

I did it. I bought the 22 CX5 Turbo and have no regrets. Keep in mind that the Turbo comes with a few more features and a different look. Decide that way. Cheers.

 

Great! You got lots of information and the subjective viewpoints that come along with it, and you made your decision.

Good luck and LOTS of enjoyment! Best Wishes, Reuben Vabner

 

That's why we ended up with a turbo. My wife and I love the features that come with the Signature. There is one thing the Signature does not have. Cylinder deactivation
