With a center mounted throttle body, getting even airflow to all of the cylinders is an easier task compared to the last turbocharged motor Mazda offered in the Mazdaspeed 3\/6 and CX-7.<\/p>\n<p>The official power numbers are 250 HP on premium fuel and 310 torque. Mazda said you could run the engine on lower grade fuel resulting in\u00a0only a decrease in HP (not torque) due to the design of the dynamic pressure turbocharger, which is used on this new motor.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back at the CX-7, Mazda offered it with a smaller turbocharger to generate more torque at the expense of top end power.
