[s-cars] warranty GP?

[Bruce Mendel]

It's really all about being "creative" and having a mechanic that is bright
and willing to work with you.

Clearly, blowing up your turbo after running 30 lbs of boost using modified
software and your mechanic telling that to the warranty company as he asks
if it is a covered event is problematic.

I can talk to you off list via email to share my experiences. I have had no
problems.
