****UPDATE AT BOTTOM****
OK, So I have the JRSC, and I wasn't 100% expecting a repair under warranty for the busted hose. Except that they fixed it the first time no questions. Well, now they are saying that "The supercharger is over-revving the engine causing undue build-up of pressure causing the hose to break lose." My first reaction was "The crank that turns all of those accessories hasn't changed the speed of the p/s pump, and the car is still driven within the specifications, meaning I can't rev beyond the redline." Basically I had to tell the guy that redline was where peak power was made WITHOUT the supercharger and that the s/c has nothing to do with pressure because its not like the s/c is pumping more air/prssure into the p/s. Anyway, it is falling on deaf ears. I called SVT and the guy, Mark, agreed with me that he didn't see how the s/c would affect the pressure of the hose, but he also understood from a warranty perspective that it was iffy in general. Still, this makes NO sense. I CAN'T over-rev the engine...I obviously like 99% of you have the stock ECU. Redline is it for me. I'd gladly over-rev it if I could, but I haven't

Basically they want to put some sort of special bushing in that apparently was made for this scenario, but as far as I'm concerned this is BS. It's NOT a new part. He gave me part number FSRZ-3R608B. Any ideas what this is? They want 250 to do the entire repair.
Does anyone have any recourse for me? The reason they are giving me makes no sense. I kept repeating that this is a common problem and that the s/c again, has no affect. I've had it....my car is 13 months old and I have 28K miles on it. I've had nothing but problems...and it's obviously about to get very costly. They only want $250 for the repair now, but what will it be next? I have already had what would have been very costly repairs if it wasn't for the warranty.
Also, shouldn't a service department be able to make print outs of my visits? My service guy is refusing to help me there. From my knowledge I've had over 40 days in service among other problems with the dealer. Agh.
Maybe I should just suck it up and pay the bill, but it's this problem among dozens that is killing me.....especially if they are giving me some BS answer as the reason they can't cover it.
