    Hmmm.
    Interesting. The dealer has just replaced the turbo's oil seals. The comment was that it was due to higher than normal boost pressure caused by the DP chip installed ... Wouldn't cover this under warranty. However, if this is a known fault - maybe it should have been covered. One of those grey areas.

      Hmmm, seems more like a very black and white area to me.

      A DP chip using increased boost pressure to do its thing, turbo seals fail - an easy warranty denial.

      Shoulda removed the DP chip before taking it in ?

          I will need some actually data to back up the YES unfortunately ...
          Use safety as argument as well, if the car brakes down at night or in remote locations.
          Back up data: movies, real life crimes.
