Haha, let me get on that... I've only edited 3 pictures so far...out of the 140 I took. Of course, I'll only choose about 10 or so.

Certain dealers have a performance division, in which they warranty their work. For example, my old Infiniti dealer would install/warranty Vortech superchargers kits.

To be honest i didnt know that, but they warranty there work.
so if the install was done wrong, and the engine poped then they'd warranty it.
but if the engine just blows up, i highly doubt theyll warranty it. but hey i could be wrong, thats just what im assuming.

And I could be wrong as well. Putting an aftermarket supercharger or turbo on an NA engine is already a risk. The liability a dealer undetakes is huge. I'm sure they charge an arm and a leg for the kit plus they will charge a ridiculous amount for installation and everything included. That's probably the only way they can justify offering a warranty package and an aftermarket forced induction system. Not to mention...they parts at wholesale, haha.

I know my local ford shop will do power up-grades even SC kits. They do the work, with their parts only then will they warranty. My local nissan place will not do anything like this.
