My evo 9 have been dying on cold start ups lately. So I decided to pull the air intake apart and take a look and check all the conections. As im doing so I look over to the intake manifold and find a small hole, a little smaller than an eraser head on what appers to be the number3 cyclinder. The car has turbo back exhaust and an itake thats it. Only 14k on it too. What should I do? Go to the dealership? will he honor my warranty? Get a aftermarket manifold that is better and hope I didnt get a lot of **** in the cylinders? Help me out here guys. Thanks

 

whats a car hole?

 

As in a New Car. I bought it New.. There is a hole in the intake manifold

 

how did you get a hole in it??? Take it in if you trust your stealership...

 

Fixed.

 

Thanks.. My dealship is shady.. Just looked under the hood today to see if I could find this vacume leak Im looking for and sure enough right in one of the creases of the manifold there was a hole.

 

Tune your car

 

is it a machined in hole or somthing broken?

 

the hole is jagged it just broke out.. Ill post the pic

 

 

Wow I 'm gonna check mine out too, that sucks, I hope this isnt a recall thats gonna happen, let us know what you wind up doing.

 

There's no way an intake can do that. Take it to the dealer, if they don't replace at least the manifold call up mitsubishi. I would want a new engine just to be on the safe side... But if it got sucked through and did anything you'd see alot of oil consumption.
Unless they can prove without a doubt that your intake caused a hole in the IM there's no way they can void you warranty, what are they going to say? "Your intake and exhaust caused the turbo to push PSI higher then the stock manifold can handle and it broke?"

 

Wow, did someone shoot your car or something??? Are there any other bullet holes??

Seriously tho, if you still have your warranty, take ALL of the mods off of your car and take it in. Also, there might be another dealership relatively nearby your area that is more reputable.

 

yeah Im going to take it in... this sucks..

 

take it in to the dealership.
