Paranoia...?

[Meatball]

Tell me about it, I have a window switch that just sort of broke off and now the passenger window goes slightly down and up as if someone was opening the door randomly and its annoying as hell. I am absolutely terrified to take it to the dealer to get it fixed under warranty but its pretty annoying so I don't have a choice.

I know this is obvious but I’d make it clear to the service rep that you expect zero miles put on the car. Can insist they add that in the paperwork, and ask them to tell the mechanic personally. Don’t know if it would help but it might. They know you care and are watching it.

If you take your car to any reputable performance shop they will not be interested in your "job". Your 600-1000+whp car is what they deal with on a daily basis.

If you give your 600+whp car to jiffy lube...that's your problem

This probably good advice even if you own a 150hp Saturn ion

you can just remove the belt and drive it, that way it is impossible to get into boost (I call that the "No boost for you" setup). Obviously this is not possible with any other supercharger since they all are powered by the accessory drive.

I don't have a S/C yet, but couldn't you swap serpentine belts to a shorter one? Your response was exactly my thought. No belt, no power.

My honest not-sarcastic answer though is (And I realize not everyone can do this) but do most of the work yourself. The first ~5 years will probably be a wash as you buy tools, but thereafter, you're only paying for parts. I learned out of necessity, I didn't have a lot of mod money as a kid, so I borrowed my Father's tools and dumped almost all of the cash into the parts themselves.
