Cool No More Warranty

I drove to Yakima for lunch Saturday (hey, there were roads that went there, what other reason do I need), and my warranty disappeared on my way to work this morning.

I have had no warranty for the last 52,000 miles (102,000 total) Life still goes on.

I've got right around 60100. She had 87 on her when I bought her.

I agree with the sentiment, dmp, but I'm going with a custom Turbo Solution. First step is taking some measurements and firing up the CAD software.

Well, I was going to save that for after I did something truly evil, but this'll work.

Keep in mind, brother - often, adding FI to a car and make the car less-fun, and more-worry

Yeah I kinda like the reliability and simplicity of an NA build (if there is any power left to be squeezed...) but it looks like boost is the only hope.

I've another car I'll hopefully have back on the road in a couple of months, so I'm willing to deal with less reliability. And as long as I'm judicious in my application of boost (yeah, right) I should be fine.
