Default He was chipped and dealer refused coverage, so there is nothing underhanded going on here.

He paid out of pocket for this repair.

I hope Crapple doesn't mind me saying all this, but he was running X-chip.

This is also his second set of turbos. The first set went while he was completely stock.
