I couldn't find anyone that people trusted and that would cover the twin turbo's. Though I have heard some rumors that the "twin-turbo" clauses may refer to just turbos that are in-line with each other and the bi-turbo may be exempt.... I don't like the idea of risking it.

I decided to save the 2k and put it towards K04's if worst comes to worst. If you DO find someone ppl trust that will cover the car - DO TELL . I already am replacing tie-rod ends and the cam seals are leaking.

I just did a live chat, cover Twin Turbos, no inspection, but if you do the exclusionary plan there is a 30day/1000mile wait before claims can be made. On the parts list plan it starts right away but doesn't cover pre-existing conditions.

Looks like it ends up being the Buyers Choice, INc. Warranty.

I looked up the BBB records on them and they are satisfactory. Complaints are low, but then again I have no idea how many accounts they have.

directservicecontracts.com acts as the marketer of the product. Anyone have experience with them or Buyers Choice or Royal Administration?

Good information. Not in Calif. at this time, darn it.
