Apparently the dealer you took it to wasnt working in your best interest. They clearly took pictures to document the modifications, and didnt give you a heads up to return it to stock. Elite my ass....more like screw you customer and then lie to you.
Frankly, even if you took them to court, AND you can make the case that the modifications had nothing to do with the failure (which they clearly did not), doesnt matter......just the fact that you made the modifications is enough for them to deny warranty on the drivetrain. You should still be covered on all the other systems in the car (ie you cant be denied coverage on your myLink, for the catch can), but the engine, possibly the trans and rear axle are now not covered.
Hate to be the guy that pisses in your punchbowl, but Ive dealt with the legal side of these things for a long time.....and you dont have a legal case, even if you have a technical one.
Only thing to do now....is pull the motor and build yourself a nice forged stroker
