Well believe it or not but my comp through a code in shut down mode an won't let it start. The reason being this is because when I said I started my car an it stalled... Well when I was taking the kit off I found a rag stuck in the intake manifold that was in my intercooler to plug the hole from anything getting in it. When we installed it we forgot to take it out an it sucked it up an I pulled the rag out an now it still won start so now the comp is all fucked up an doesn't know what to do so I gotta take it In an get it all reprogrammed an reset cause idk how to do that. An it's under warrenty so they will take care of that unless u have any suggestions other than imma a retard for leiving that rag in there lol

Well if you are looking to take it back under warranty installing a turbo automatically makes that null and void or no?

this is awesome miguel! and architect shut the hell up. Warranty is warranty.. then screw ppl out of them left and right for bogus reasons, its about time someone gets what they paid for. Yea, its a mistake, but u live and learn. Im pretty sure warranty work to fix a "flooded" engine wont break their bank

umm warranty would be void on the entire power train, the cuts in the plastic is a tell tell, and mazda does read these forums, have had a friend who a dealer fought with for light mods and had a print out of the forum to prove them.

yes ppl do get screwed out of legitimate warranty claims everyday. because dealers are greedy, lazy, and incompetent. But it doesnt sound like anyone is getting what they paid for. If you have springs on your car and a dealer denies you warranty on your motor for it, then you're getting screwed. But fooling a dealer into doing warranty work that fixes your mistakes makes you just as much of an *******.

So ya everything worked out Mazda took care of it an my car is running again. It's all back to stock an all I bought was a new battery. My warrenty was not voided an they took care of it. Was flooded an needed a new batt. So the kit is just packed up in my garage if there's any buyers!? If so let me no I'll see what I can do on shipping but prefer pickup. 2k
