Is this the result of running too much boost or a bad tune?

Not sure yet. Not jumpin to any conclusions till I can take some logs and see what can be done. We had literally everything squeezed out of her at this much boost. So my guess is I was just st the edge.

Depending on what happens Monday I may be forging the engine and going further.

Did it give up on the street or track? You said something earlier about it being heat related, so im guessing track.

And you want the dealer to cover this for free? That's freaking lame.

Who wouldn't?

I have a great dealer who takes care of me because I have bought 8 cars from them

Now, if they don't, I won't be upset either.

How is it "lame"? I'm

Is the blower still on it? If so, i really want to know your dealer. I stopped taking mine in since I got my intake because I don't want any chance of warranty loss.

My guy said to take it off before hand just to make it easier on him when working on it.

Why would you stop taking yours in after having an intake put on ? I have mine into the dealer to have the power steering fix. At that time I had throttle body , c.a.i. ,oil catch can, high flow cats , custom exhaust. The only thing I did not have was my tune. They said nice set up can we have the keys. Warranty was completed and still go back for oil changes .

The problem is that not all dealers want to deal with modified cars (even minor mods up to and including CAI); my personal example Stingray Chevrolet outside Tampa. They did not want to look into 2 TPS codes , because of the mods and just made a lot of excuses. Will NEVER EVER take my car to them or buy a car from them due to the attitude I ran into.

Mods--KPE S/C, Catless Exhaust, AEM Meth Kit, and other minor suspension changes

Trust me I know that dealership far to well. They would not even fix a part they broke . Until I showed them the video . That recorded what was broken and lack of concern of knowing it was broken. Let's just say they made it right. Plus lost a good contract in the process.
Anyways back on point hopefully all gets fix .

Engine repair is being covered as a one time deal!
