- - New evo x (https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/evom-new-member-faqs-evom-rules/420219-new-evo-x.html)

Ok so i got my evo x yesterday at Foutain Mitsubishi in Orlando, FL. I have a few ?'s left unanswered so i decided to come here.

1. They said that if I add an intake of an exhaust it will completly void my warranty. Is this true
2. They said that i should get a Turbo Timer. Are they complicated to use?

thankyou sorry if these are dumb ?'s Ive never owned a turbo car before.

Legally, an intake and exhaust cannot void your warranty unless they can prove that those parts actually caused a problem. They won't be able to .

You don't need a turbo timer. Your dealership is full of ricers.

Most mods will void your warranty. Dealers will find any reason to void it, sometimes even if it's just changing your wheels.

For the intake, I would recommend just going with a drop in like K&N so a) it shouldn't void your warranty or b) so you can stick the stock one back on if necessary. Knowing the dealership, if you ever need warranty repairs they might find a reason to argue an aftermarket exhaust caused something. I say change it if you want it and are prepared to argue for your rights, but if you don't want to worry about it, just stick with the stock one.

Heck no, you don't need a turbo timer. You could always idle your car for a couple seconds or the fan will kick in. This coming from a guy with a TT in his car. :updown:

to pop in about turbo timers,

its not necessary but i think its nice at auto-x that i can leave my car running to go ride in someone else's car without just leaving the keys in there

That is illegal.

See Magnuson v. Mossberg in 1975.

You don't need an intake or exhaust. For $300 i'll sell you a Z-chip that just plugs into your car and adds 70hp right away, and you can always take it off before going to the dealer. It's safe to use and does not void any warranties if you take it off BEFORE going to the dealer. It takes 10 min to put on and the same to take off. TTP engineering makes and sell it for $400. They are also located right around the corner from you in Orlando as well. PM me if you're interested.

I agree TTP is a good place to check out!

If you're worried about warranty just head up to RC Hill Mistu in Deland. The owner is very mod friendly and has an awesome evo himself from what I heard.

73 hp with just a tune sounds crazy, but really cool
