I've worked at car dealerships for many years. Ask anyone on this forum that has or does work for one and they will tell you the same.
99.9% of the time the factory takes responsibilty for the all the labor and parts costs.

He did on the other hand say he was running a boost controller at 19psi which is the stock boost for that car. Which is why i posted what I did.

sounds like someone messed with your safc settings or something like that and you drove it unaware.

Oh well I guess I will go back to getting ready for a drivetrain overhaul in about 2000miles on my evo.

What actually happened is the piston melted and warped the cylinder, and also some values in the head were damaged also.
They will not cover the short block and head that needs to be replaced, because they claim the car was overboosting.
Stock wastegate
Stock turbo
Stock intake
Stock exhaust.
SAFC II
Profec B set to 19psi high / 15psi low
reason for the profec B, low boost to save gas for daily driving.
The head of service actually said they would do the work a week ago, but the district manager happened to be in town and took a look, and denied the repairs under warranty.
My car is at the dealership with the engine torn down, and I have no clue what to do now.
Where do I go from here?

Hey I said thank you. Geees, I try to be polite and see what people say to me?
You asked and I answered.
O and evos give themselves bad names. I dont have to do that after so manny of them have broken down already. After getting on this forum I wish I had never bought one. I wish I had found this forum earlier.
