SER BLOWN!!!

Been noticing my oil pressure reading @0psi at idle probably since I bought the car. I change my oil very often and always run a full synthetic. Car is still under warranty.

My concern are these mods I have, spacers, block off plate, SSIM, EGR system removed. There is known pre-cat failure in these cars. Trying to get this covered under warranty being I have had issues since I bought the car. I know I have to choose my words wisely and be careful what I say when speaking with these people. I change all my own oil and have not kept the best record.

As a consumer I know I have rights on modding my vehicle and staying within the warranty and what not. Usually they would have to prove that a modification caused the damage which led to the failure.

Should I reinstall stock manifold and all the goodies, EGR, which I dont have???

Anyone want to trade a fully polished Goodwin SSIM w/polished raised NWP block plate for stock plus cash???

Just trying to get all my ducks in a row, any advice is appreciated.

Anyone have FULL EGR system from 6th Gen VQ, sensors and all???

Thanks

Also, I have Cattman headers with secondary sensors removed and hanging. Its obviously in my best interest to have all O2 sensors functional but is this something to address as well???

Goodwin SSIM? What does that mean, (Goodman)

I would say the EGR would be smart to reinstall. If the goodwin doesn't have any special features, (like my SSIM), I would reinstall the OEM black plate with actuator and call it good.

I don't think they'd notice the spacers.

It took me 2 trips for them to do my timing because of my headers.

They finally gave in.

That is what I am thinking and here is the predicament. I pretty much got rid of everything stock.

Stay Tuned for an Engine Blown Thread Mod to Stock but I need your stockers... Lol......

Kevin Goodwin was fabbing manifolds for a while for people, KRRZ350...

The dealership was giving me poop about my lack of secondary O2 sensors. They finally did it, every dealership is different and they pretty much do what they want.

See what happens.

If you need an egr valve I have one left over from my vq swap. It's off of an 05 engine with about 60k miles. PM me if you are interested.
