They may deny the warranty claim if something leads them to believe you had a turbo on there but you have a 5 yr 60,000 mile warranty on the eclipse. I would take the ENTIRE kit off the car and say that it stopped running right and take it in to them. Have all oil change/tune up receipt too. I blew up and was covered by warranty and others have too but I had no turbo so I was ok. Good luck.

for my 30k service, i didnt know anything, and had a shop do it for me.
well, they used an air powered tool to tighten the spark plugs, and they stripped cylinder 3s plug hole. it cost 289$ at satan to have them redo the spark plug and tap it. now it works like new.
when my shit blew, the spark plug popped out of the hole, and hit the hood. my ride sounded like a lawnmower.
they didnt cover mine under warantee cuz someone else messed up. however, right afeter i cut a check for satan, i went to the shop that did my 30k, and took the money from the mechanic's paycheck who worked on my car to reimburse me for the labor/cost of fixing the problem.
stock warrantee is 60k or 5 yrs.
