No driving for me I guess..
So yesterday my car began overheating quite a lot.. I brought it into the nearest Honda dealership today so they could have a look and tell me what was wrong, and I'm surprised at what they found. Seems that some wires got pulled into the fan on the back of the radiator (Koyorad) and pushed that fan against the radiator causing it to chew a hole in the radiator and shred the wires.. ruining both my radiator and the fan. I was told that there was no way these wires should have been able to work their way into that fan unless they were basically left right in front of it when they built the thing. Now I've got a car I can't drive and an enormous green puddle in my garage.. Does T1 stand by the work they do or will they not be bothered?

Definitely ask T1. They may cut you a break on the labor and parts. Also, you have no proof that the damage is as a result of T1 not doing the work correctly. What if the previous owner did something? Just be humble, sincere and see what happens.
A general rule=> as soon as modifications are done to a car (especially as significant as adding a turbo), in my book that means no more dealer servicing.

I agree with ^! It could have been several different things, but being this soon after you purchased its a little suspicious... 
It could have been having issues and then the previous owner decided to trade before it got worse. It could have been "test driven" while at the dealership and unknowingly messed up by a bad driver. T1 is probably the last place I would place blame because if there were issues the previous owner would have been dealing with T1 prior to trading...
