Hks Blow off

HELLO I HAVE A QUESTION, I BOUGHT AN HKS BLOW OFF, BUT YESTERDAY I WENT TO MITSUBISHI DEALER FOR THE OIL CHANGE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I CAN LOSE MY WARATY BECAUSE OF THAT. THEY ALSO TOLD THAT A BLOW OFF IS THE WORST THING I CAN INSTALL ON THE CAR. AND FOR THAT I AM GOING TO LOSE MY WARANTY IF I DO NOT TAKE IT OUT. WHAT COULD YOU TELL ME ABOUT THAT IT IS TRUE OR NOT?

SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH I AM STING LEARNING IT.

don't be surprised if they do void your warranty.

it is known that hks bov can cause drivability issues if you vta.

It is best to keep your car stock if you plan on having frequent visits to the dealer...

or you should find a mod-friendly dealership...

by the way... don't use all CAPITAL LETTERS... some people think it is rude.

oh and, make sure you do a search... normally you can find your answer to these frequently asked questions

You paid the dealer for oil change? They're rip offs.

Yes, it can void your warranty if your dealership are ******. And yes a blow off valve is bad for your car since you'll run rich inbetween shifts because it vents to the atmosphere.

Please turn off your caps lock button too =/.

Good stuff. I also get my oil changes and maintenance free from Mitsu thanks to a promotion they ran in late 04. Not sure how you got yours free, though, because they had no promotion on IXs. It must have been a dealer-added incentive yah.
