Yeah, that's what I'm going to end up doing.
Dude, don't do that. Karma will come back around big time! Just do it right.

Sell it privately nothing is wrong with that.
You just tell them the motor isn't warranted. (that's the whole reason why the dealer wont do a used one, because they can't warrant it.)

yea, thats fine. I just thought you were gonna sell it under the assumption it would still be warrientied. i know i'd be soo ____ed if that were to happene to me. Sorry about your issues though. I have no patience for situations like that. too bad you couldn't hold the dealer to the fact that they initially said they would warranty the problem.

Yeah...well if I would have stayed at the dealer any longer me and Mr. SR tech Ricky would have fought..this guy is an absolute moron. This guy tried to tell me a tC can only take 5PSI MAX. I asked him why the TRD supercharger pushes 7 then?

His response: "It doesn't, it only pushes 5." Then he goes on to tell me that he helped a friend install a 9.5LB pulley on his friends supercharger...with NO engine management...

But the 9.5 on my car was TOO much boost...

I asked him how he could explain guys pushing 14PSI daily on tC's...his response "There's just no way."

I know...that's what I told him...all he could say was "There's just no way, that motor can't take that much."

if your pushing over 11 your slowly bringing the life of your engine down on stock internals when everything will go is a luck of the draw could be right now could be 2 years hell it could run 120,000 miles ... its all luck once your in the turbo world

i did my own tune and the car runs like no tomorrow and on top of that my timing chain cover decided to start leaking ....yea she wont blow up i cant get lucky enough lol

but im ripping my engine apart again for like the 5th time and im going to just pull it completely apart

so yea anythings possible in the turbo world ...run 20psi .... hell run 25 on like 750-900 cc injectors ... youd get at least a really good pull or two before .... it either blows up or ____ starts warping and bending .... you cant see inside your engine and the hell your putting it through unless your able to see through metal?! and if you can do that ... let me see !!!
