There are laws that prevent that from happening so no need to remove them in that case.

Well what I was adding by the link is that Vortech offers a power train warranty on their full systems at an additional cost. So if something should happen to the the power train of the vehicle than it would be covered along with the warranty of the supercharger. That is if Toyota/Subaru could prove that the supercharger caused whatever issue occurred.

use injector adapter plugs, keep a spare oil pan and oem sealant, blow car up, remove system, flash ecu to stock, bring it in and look for the youngest service sales man and give him and the tech who is working on it $100 each. FI Warranty complete.

^ Coming from a vendor no less there is someone to trust. Here's for hoping you were being sarcastic.
Too bad anything over X dollar amount usually requires a regional warranty rep to approve the repairs. Think he doesn't know what to look for on a "tuner" car, yeah... |

Mad man doesn't mean screwing people over....
Also I'm an engineer who as dealt with warranty approvals/denials on vehicle parts. Committing fraud by trying to get warranty on something that was obviously being modified to create a situation not designed for hurts the manufacturer, dealership, people trying to cover deserved warranty and drives the price of vehicles up for everyone. Its not a victimless crime. Last edited by Fritts; 11-03-2012 at 09:47 PM. |

And while your crying for the manufacturer I was a technician for Toyota many years ago, I saw plenty of the techs take advantage of warranty work when almost anybody that came in regardless of miles was getting engine rebuilds for sludge, even at 250k, heck even the ball joint recall for old Tacoma trucks that had over 200k got them, and I also seen plenty of service writers slam a customer any which way they could to try and get out of warranty work, since you deal with this im sure you know warranty pays only about 0.3 labor on the normal 1.0 labor. I apologize if my comment pushed you the wrong way, I figured a little joking around wouldnt hurt around here. |

Why would anyone think that they can out smart the engineers at Toyota/Subaru?
You blow up an engine with FI and replace the stock parts and cry manufacturer defect. Here is what happens to that engine. It is shipped back to the plant it was originally built. There it will be torn down and every single part will be scrutinized. They will be measured on the most sophisticated equipment available and they'll know exactly what happened. Any time an engine fails under warranty they are shipped back. This is why dealers won't honor warranty work on modified engines. The dealer could be on the hook for the cost when the factory techs tell them it was modified. |
