If it doesn't work out lemme know, I'll come down there and you can mash the throttle on my evo in front of their cars.. I need to retune it since it's running fairly rich, so a good layer of unburnt fuel and soot come out.

 

I know, right? It's like playing the lottery!

 

Skyline sucks, period. I went there once for warranty work and had the sense enough to make it the last time. It was obvious from the moment I got there that they had no interest in doing anything more than the bare minimum to get me out of there. The OP is a glutton for pain for continuing to deal with them for as long as he did.

And I have nothing but good things to say about Mile High, especially the parts manager Kenny. Great guy, super helpful and always lets things go for as cheap as he can sell them; he knows me by name I've been in there so many times.

 

OK, just got back from the dealership, FINALLY. I showed up promptly at 5pm, which is when he said the car would be ready. Robert says to me, "He's out driving it right now. Should be back in a few." So, I wait like 15 minutes before he says he's going to go check on the car. Come to find out he's not even got the car back together yet. Then Robert says to me "He's bleeding the clutch, then there's a couple more panels he has to put on and he'll be done". Bleeding the clutch? Wha? Ok, so anyway, I wait for another hour, and the tech comes back form test driving it. Says he couldn't make it do it, but they were able to replicate it several times before. The bright side is, I didn't have to sit in too much traffic on the way home, because everyone is already home... lol

To the mountains I go, this weekend.

 

Good luck with it, let us know how it goes!!!

 

Took her up to Copper today, and no issues! I actually think they fixed it!

On another note, I came home to a smashed window in my truck, and a stolen GPS... Lame.

 

and

Man if a new turbo / manifold fixed it... wow?

Sucks about your truck, I never leave anything valuable in my vehicles any more. I wish my NAV was removable.

 

So we have a fixed Evo finally???

 

they have prolly changed the vacuum hoses and boost pill at the same time?

 

This is what I'm thinking... that the turbo assembly came with all those lines and they happened to replace the one with the boost pill.

 

Glad its running good, we will see how it does for the next 3 weeks or so.....

 

Good to hear. Was it Mile High who ultimately worked it out?

 

finally congrats

 

I still feel skeptical.... more testing i say

And if it passes, what are you going to do with the car? Keep it?

Also, do you feel you would have solved this sooner had you taken it to the 2nd dealership sooner?

 

Car sure is happy still!

I'm not sure if I had taken it to mile high in the first place, that they would have fixed it. Because it was one of the mitsubishi techs they flew out, that figured out how to reproduce the issue.

As for what's next, I will definitely keep the car. I am still going to attempt to recover damages from Mitsubishi for my lost time with the vehicle, and my extreme troubles dealing with it all. Then, I can FINALLY start modifying the vehicle, like I've wanted to since the beginning, and by modify, I'm not even talking performance mods. I have a backup camera to install, and I plan to rip out the interior and dynamat everything and replace the stereo with one that actually sounds good. Then I'll probably get an accessport, and maybe do the stock muffler modification for some more flow, and I'll be set! I'm going to wait a bit before i do anything though. But I've had a backup camera sitting at my house for almost 3 months now!
