Dude... use your brain. How is your boost guage going to affect your transfer case thats going to go out?

Wow...given Mitsubishi's attitudes on warranty and their willingness to deny warranty coverage based on temperature, moon-phase and your astrological sign, I'd say trade it off now; buy a Camry and sleep soundly at night.

no the fuggin gauge doesn't void the warranty. I've already had small repairs done to my car. They actually like the fact that I have a boost gauge and turbo timer. But hey that's just the dealership I go to.

I've been pretty careful with hanging onto my factory warranty too. I have the 10yr/100K mile one on my '04 so I haven't modded anything except for rims, a VG, and a boost guage. I have the Defi D boost guage and the dealership hasn't had any trouble with it.

So the guage isn't going to void your warranty.

I have an extended warranty, so i dont want to put a gauge in and void any type of warranty, should i just bring it back to the dealer and tell them? Sorry for being such a noob, just trying to get some feedback from you wiser evo-ers
