I was driving my car yesterday at about 45-50 mph accelerating off the stop light and randomly my car LURCHED and stalled out. In the middle of traffic.... So there were honks and yells all around me thankfully no one hit me. So I restart the car and now my turbo isn't operating. No more pretty spooling of the turbo no more power. It just shut down. So I pull into a gas station and restart the car. Still no turbo. So now I'm calling Hendrick Mini freaking out because my car just had a stroke. They say bring it in immediately. So in short, I'm driving a GIANT Chevy Equinox and I don't know if my car is going to be ok. Not too mention I am a little nervous about whether the warranty will cover it due to the fact that I have an aftermarket intake on the car. Someone just tell me it will be ok!!!

 

It will be okay.

 

Hopefully, it'll be okay - I have a R53 and the same thing happened to me - with the exception it was rush hour on 85-S and I was in the middle of traffic! Hendrick had it for a week and really found nothing wrong and suggested I take off an after market piece.
Wish you luck!!!!

 

Aftermarket intake will not affect your warranty on the turbo - two unrelated parts.

 

Your turbo died on your R53? Neat.

 

Cut her some slack, you know what she meant--it's exactly the same but a little different. ;-) We could just say "power adder" I guess to keep the trolls at bay?

On topic: I've found Hendrick's to be very reasonable related to mod's and issues, I have an M7 pulley, Helix CAI, JCW 380ccs, Invidia exhaust, Jan tune, and they diagnosed and fixed a fly wheel issue under warranty.

Everything will be okay.

 

Well I am crossing my fingers no word on the car yet..
