The Turbo kit plus tune voided that warranty. I don't see them fixing this out of there pocket. Good luck though.

as they say gotta pay to play.

Found faults P000B and P000A, right intake and exhaust camshaft position.
Switched OCV'S on intake and exhaust from bank 1 to 2.
Problem stayed on bank one intake sprocket and problem moved to bank 2
exhaust. (OCV)
Right bank one intake sprocket and left exhaust (OCV) solenoid need replacement
per bulletin 02-132-12R.

I put my stock manifold back on and brought my car back for the repairs. They gave me a call yesterday and told me I needed my shortblock replaced because they found metal debris in the oil plate and that the oil was sludgy. The dealer blamed it on me "overboosting" but my kit runs at 5 psi and I had a tune as well. I did not have the kit on for that long so I'm not even sure if it was the turbo kit that did this. I can't tell if the dealer is shafting me and trying to make me pay for a new shortblock.
