Well, that plan was shot to hell. Turns out it wasn't a stuck seal, but instead I managed to break my second side seal

Well I didn't do it, Goodyear did hen they overheated the engine. I clearanced everything on that side of the rotor to .05mm. When she cooked the seal must have pinned and broke. I'll get some pics up in the very near future but there is a .185-.25" piece of side seal missing. It scored the housing on the way out and took out the turbo's

As per Mazda the twins aren't serviceable so I should be getting a new pair of '99 spec twins out of the whole deal becuase, well it's a superceded number. Lucky me.... not really. If I was lucky I would've been able to enjoy my car unhurt for more than 160 miles. :

:

Right now the engine is disassembled and the car is in pieces. I'm so pissed off at the whole thing that if the insurance co gives me any more shit tomorrow I'm going to have the car towed to Dave, all the pieces shipped, and the company can pay him to rebuild the engine, port the housings, paint the housings, assemble the car, break it in and dyno it, oh yeah, new turbo's too.

So we'll see what happens tomorrow............
