Warranty on Garret Twin ball bearing turbo?

Kojack · 10-25-2013, 11:53 AM

4 months go my shop ordered GTM Stage 2 twin turbo and installed it. After the start up they noticed the oil was leaking and send the turbo back to GTM. Got the replacement and all is good.

Few days before the NIS, i had custom 3" exhausts made to replace my Stillen exhaust. Strapped on dyno to get it retune then after few mins of idling you could see white smoke coming out from one of the pipe. Now keep in mine this is only 4 months old kit with just under 2k miles on it. I just found out that my shop paid for the internal shaft for the brand new turbo that went bad 4 months ago ( they're still trying get the first turbo covered by warranty) and i had to pay for the 2nd one.

Isnt there a warranty for this? I thought it's covered by a year or few thousand mile. What can i do?
