Possible Idea

OK, so I have been waiting fixing the turbo on my car cause of the seals

Still have warranty, called dealership and said everything is covered unless it causes the problem, heres the thing if i bring the car in and they see i have a custom, and they refuse warranty work, they wouldnt flash my car to stock to be dicks would they?

Ive been told not to bring it to dealer and also told to, to try and get a new free turbo...

opinions?
sorry if my sentences suck Im on no sleep just got off of work

thanks in advance

The dealership won't flash your car back to stock, they will just deny service and possibly flag your car.

If you want to make sure you get the service, your absolute best bet is to swap back to stock and have css3 flash you back to your gms1 base tune. Which I'm sure he'd do for you no problem..

IMO the work swapping stuff back to stock is definitely worth it for a new turbo.. Dealerships usually won't give you a hard time about a catback, but the downpipe and the intake would definitely be questioned for warrantee service on a turbo.


You could always send your turbo to Brian Nickles and get a nice 2871 rebuild
