Default Turbonetics now offering powertrain warranties for all kits...

From Turbonetics web page:

For only $295.00 consumers can receive a 3 year/36,000 mile powertrain warranty covering both the engine and transmission. Applicable to any forced induction "system or kit" that Turbonetics manufactures whether or gasoline or diesel powered. Good for any vehicles that are still currently covered under the factory warranty and have not exceeded the factory policy's limits. Turbonetics Powertrain Warranty applies to any vehicle 3 years or newer and having less than 36,000 miles, the coverage provides $3000.00 for engine costs and $2000.00 towards the transmission.

sounds like just enough money to pop your stock motor and get a new built motor for free

i'm sure its not that cut and dry..

probably have to be installed by an authorized dealer and the motor has to be torn down and proven that it was caused by the reflash.. with nothing additonal mods or what not

Magnusson has been doing this for god knows how long. Same warranty was applied to the GTO blower and the Stillen SC for the Z (except this one actually makes power).
Although I am willing to bet that this will be for cars that are using the full kit with reflash and stock exhaust.

Good deal! I heard Turbonetics had this in the works for quite a while. Glad it's finally official.

Not bad, Id imagine no additional mods other than the kit? Authorized dealers/installers only? No track time?
