Default Warranty work for cars w/ mods in Cali?

Hey what's up guys. I know this is a dumb question but I'm just wondering if anyone knew of any dealerships that does warranty work on modded cars. My synchros went out and my mileage is only at 27k. Does anyone know of any dealerships that would do it for me in so cal? Or somewhere in california? Oh yea, I have a turbo on my car. That would really affect their decisions right? Well if anyone knows of any place that would do it anyways, just tell me what's up. If not, I guess I'll have to buy it and do it myself. Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

Your best bet is to take off the turbo if it is a bolt on and then take it in. I live in Riverside and they will warranty some parts like AEM and DC headers adn sutch but i would make the car as stock as possible. Because all they have to do is determine that the added power of the turbo was more than the tranny could hold. Witch they will say definetly. Well good luck

Good luck cause turbo is a BIG mod that I doubt any dealerships will accept you. Plus it's synchros.

Damn, I really don't want to uninstall the whole turbo kit. How much do you think it is to buy a replacement synchro and install it myself? I might just do that. I do have a lot of warranty work that I could sure use though....Hm...

They should not cover that. If you slam it into 2nd all the time and have 1.5 times the power going thru the tranny, why should acura (us in the long run) have to pay for it? Sorry to sound mean, but that's like acura replacing engines when people hydrolock them.
