Yeah no kidding. When I blew my engine I considered taking off my mods and simply lying to the dealership, than I thought, you know what, this is my own doing so I should have to deal with it. Take some responsibility for your actions and learn something in the process.

I guess you guys got a point I should just leave it all on and then just have the dealership fix it. I heard though that Mitsubishi pays for them to fix whatever is wrong under warranty, so why wouldn't they just do it anyways no questions asked. If they ask about nitrous I would say yeah I did try it then took it out, then my warranty is void anyways most likely. Thing is I only have 10 k on it, so I don't know what to do.

No dealership will fix wrecklessness. You put a racing product on an engine made for street use, they're not going to cover you.

The final bill was like 4800$. I had 4 bent valves, melted pistons and rings, and messed up spark plugs, oh and a blown sensor.

Do you think the dealership would put aftermarket pistons and rods in?

I'm sure they will, but it'll be expensive.

Yeah, but what would be the point of putting it in the IC. How much horsepower will that give?

2 months!?!?! My dad is going to be one POED human. that's alright I will just buy a beater for winter if it takes that long. That blows monkey chunks. Well I will call roadside assistance tomorrow and have them tow it to Mitsubishi. Once I find out the problem I will let everyone know.

You spray nitrous oxide onto the intercooler, thus cooling it further.
