We do this for two reasons, first of all to make you a completely satisfied customer, and secondly and warranty items are fully examined to find the cause of a defect and if necessary make running changes to the product line in the future. This is why GReddy maintains one of the lowest warranty claims percentage in the industry.
so did greddy exam the turbo against the manufacturing defect? in most cases, you will have to send it back to them, they exam it and determine the causes.

they will never warranty on the installations, thats should be offered by the installer, but then again, would the installer puts his/her hand up and say, yep, it was my fault, i will fix/replace the part for you? i guess NOT...

alot issues will cause turbo/turbo seals to cease, tuning is one of them. who did the tuning and did he/she tuning it properly..... you will never know now.

im sure greddy will most likely to offer a better warranty if the installation was performed by one of their approved installers..... then again, they can always blame you for not looking after the car...

i think you have mentioned something about BOV and boost controller with your setup in an earlier post.... greddy can always argue that you have over boosted the turbo, and damaged the turbo....

its going to be a long flight... good luck with it

I know you needed it because yours went bad, but, what is that center section and compressor housing supposed to do for you?
