did you install the mods after they did the work? If no, it's their liability. Take it back. If you DID do the mods after them, you MIGHT be stuck, but only way to tell for sure is to take the car back and ask.

1. TB spacers are worthless.
I dont think the amount of "boost" you put in will have any effect on the LIM gasket, Check the coolant elbows first under the alternator.
I hope you have more mods than just a TB spacer for the 3.4 pulley dude.

First off, please tell me that you have more than the worthless throttle body spacer as your supporting mods for that small of a pulley.
Second, if you are that worried, take them off when you take it back to them.

I know dealership always have stupid excuse for "aftermarket part". Example like install aftermarket cd player. This car have ABS light problem. Dealership blame at aftermarket cd player so no repair under warranty. Pretty dumb if nothing have to do with abs light. :rolleyes:

Still not enough mods to safely run a 3.4 set up.
