I still don't understand most of his jargon. but any how, RRM's forged pistons are still to be ordered aswell as AEM EMS I think thats what it's called....

Does he want to sell a manifold to me? haha I want to go turbo, but that's the hardest part for me...

pm hell_spawn, I contacted him back in April about a manifold and he quoted me a price from someone local to him. It was expensive though, you may be better off doing the evo manifold with RA flange welded to it.

You guys need to find dealerships that are mod friendly.
I got some clutch issues fixed under warranty, and they could clearly see all my modifications.
The service manager is smart enough to know that a CAI won't have any direct effect on my clutch. They are usually interested in what I do to the car, and still see if they can cover stuff under warranty if something comes up.

So mods don't necessarily mean a voided warranty....Federal law protects consumers against unjust warranty denials. The mere presence of an aftermarket part isn't a lawful reason for denial—the aftermarket part must be part of the reason for the otherwise-warranted failure.

Just get them to write a report as to why x mod affected y mod. If not, tell them your lawyer will call you

mistu dealer - "yeah im sorry but we cant replace the transmission because that Ralli///Art sticker on your front window creates uneven dynamacy and the wind resistance is different to what the transmission is built to handle thus voiding your warrenty"

you - STFU

If you want to, I can ask my fiance how long it takes and how much it will cost in terms of materials, labor, and machine shop time. Even better, I can ask him how much a whole set-up would cost you.

My goal for this car is 300+ whp on semi-stock internals. Anything more is useless for fwd.

By "set-up" I mean fuel rail, exhaust manifold, intercooler piping, intercooler core, bov, and alcohol injection. Your choice of engine management is what you want it to be.

Then again, I'll ask him how long it will take, as opposed to getting a kit from RRM or RIPP.

this is the actual turbo for my setup:

+1 That's what I was just thinking. It seems they are finally posting, maybe there was too much testosterone flying around before
