A year ago we were all complaining at Mazda saying \u201cwhere is the forced induction?\u201d and it looks like Mazda was listening.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First up is the Mazda 6 turbo<\/a> which Mazda has priced to sell as you can get into a GT Mazda 6 turbo pretty affordably. \u00a0Granted there is no manual gearbox but I can say first hand they are fun to drive and the torque from the boost is really addictive. \u00a0I find it hard not to want to screw with people in the 6 since it has no visible exterior queues that it has a turbo. I will say we have already been tweaking on the car and found that it does respond well to modifications.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Second up is the SkyactivX which Mazda says will be available later this year. \u00a0This engine is supercharged to allow it to be an HCCI engine, aka compression gas motor. \u00a0The forced induction setup is pretty tricky and the initial look I have done with it I get we can crank it up a bit more to improve the efficiency of the intercooler<\/a> to give it more heat capacity to allow you to use the boost longer in the car for high-performance driving. \u00a0Until it shows up we won\u2019t know for sure but we are looking forward to trying it out.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Third is the Mazda 6<\/a> diesel which uses 2 turbos. \u00a0Mazda tried to release the 6 in the past but when they couldn\u2019t match what VW was doing they declined to just \u201cSend It\u201d as the car didn\u2019t perform as they needed it to and still hit the emissions targets without urea injection.<\/strong> \u00a0Later we all found out VW was a cheating bastard which kept us from having the Skyactiv diesel engine here to crank up the boost on. About every publication in the planet has posted up about the 2018 Mazda 6 diesel being seen in the EPA parking lot for testing along with a pile of other diesel models. \u00a0This is a good sign if Mazda says it will pass the US emissions and handed one over to the EPA we can expect a Mazda 6 turbo<\/a> soon.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I am going out on a limb here and saying that besides the announced Mazda 3 Skyactiv we are going to get something fun in the new Mazda 3 ~ a year after the initial release. \u00a0If you are reading this Mazda, please give us a Mazda 3 GT with a turbo <\/a>motor.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
