Default FTG Turbo

Been quite a few years. Found a great 07 that im really wanting, 2 concerns i have.

1 is the FTG K04 it has, I cant find any info it, waiting on the PN from the seller.

2. Has a slight hesistation at WOT which in the past i have known to be spark plugs.

I only had a short time to look and drive today but its in amazing condition amd drives perfectly, motor has 25k miles on it. The motor was swapped with a 13 in order to build the original 07. No leaks, no bolts missing or mismatched and i looked everywhere. Nothing smokes in the engine bay or from exhaust. I may be paranoid from my last Subaru purchase which was a complete rebuild 3k miles after buying it. Any input from the subject matter experts?

**update the PN for the turbo is a K04-882

Great car. I owned one. They had a lot of little first year hiccups, but Mazda fixed em all.

How much?

Did you run a compression test?

Upgrade the fuel pump and you should be fine.

Compression test will be done prior to purchase. I learned my mistake on my last Legacy GT. 2K miles after purchase and got CEL for misfires, 2 bad cylinders, hard lesson learned. And I'm pretty positive I posted this thread like an idiot in the wrong section.
