I eventually had the mazda bulletin work done on the MS3, but what caused the explosion was that stupid Boost Cut Defender some user over there was selling, before people were able to find a way to increase boost through the ECU (early stages of ms3 ownership were lean in the modding world, very little support aside form cp-e). That car was a headache and a half, but fast when it worked correctly, and great build quality.
