Question for those who bought from Brad Benson and modded

Arite so I pretty much read all the threads on BB sucking and being dicks and what-not, but I didn't find what I was looking for. I can say that I went to several dealers and they were able to give me the best deal I found, so I was happy.


Their website says they work with TT and you can keep your factory warranty if anything is done by them. At the signing I was told ANY work done by TT is warrantied and that I would just have to talk to the service dept. as if I was bringing it to them to do.

Has anyone actually gone through this or had problems bringing the car in for broken **** after being modified.?

They seem to be ok with mods, but my main thought is whether or not the warranty will remain in tact if I get the car flashed, because I know sometimes you're told one thing then when it comes up again the story changes and your SOL.

Haha, thanks J. I've seen that, I just didn't know if anyone has gone into specifics talking with the service manager. Hell that little ad can mean they'll cover you if TT installs an exhaust for you or something little like that. There's just no mention of playing with the ECU

BTW I think I found what I'm going with exhaust wise. ATP VES assembly, boost activated cutout. Sure I won't have the advantages of the quicker spool up an exhaust gives, but once boosting I will have a nice free flowing exhaust and it can be set to open at whatever PSI you want

You do that, and I'm just going to start calling you "Paul"!!!
I would stick with the BB / TT Stage up-grade path.

Arite I know you're making fun of me I just don't get it

I swear I'm not going far with this so I don't want/need to go with a full exhaust.

I want to get to about where you are and then I'm done. I won't have any money after that anyways, gonna be buying a house and getting married in the next ~2 years. So I only have that long to mod before I get told what I can do with my money Eventually I'm gonna have to do something with the eclipse too and selling isn't an option.

I loved my Supercharged 3rd Gen Eclipse GT and my 2nd Gen GS-T Eclipse!
But, Like in the movie HighLander, "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE"!!!
Let another young guy take your old eclipse to the next level. "Sell It"!
Get TT to do all the 340 or 360 stage mods in one shot, and call it DONE. Save, Save, Save, and get the house with a 2 car garage.

I can't do it. It was my first car and at absolute best I'd get 5 grand for it if I parted out the turbo kit and fixed the oil leak. Just not worth it IMO. It's paid for and only costs a few hundred to insure.

That's what I'd like. I told the fiancee I don't care what it is as long as its got a garage I can put the car in and work on the car in.

I can say I've never heard of the packages, thanks for the link . Although I was told at signing that I could have it modded before taking delivery and roll the cost into the amount financed. I don't believe in financing mods though.

I'm so torn between the extra hp you get from an exhaust and the stock look/sound of not getting an exhaust. That's why I'm considering that VES
