I bought my car with a 3 year carmax-maxcare warranty which covers basically everything...well actually the warranty was a present from my parents (i bought the car myself). My question is what route should I go when modding to get max power without voiding my warranty? Basically this means no turbo's, no engine internals, no ecu, ect. So far I installed the K&N, i am planing on a GReddy Evo exhaust, dejon tool intake pipe and maybe a high flow cat converter? Basically what the service department said was, "any mod will void only the warranty that is on the piece of equipment you take off unless the mod puts stress on other parts of the car (ie turbo)." Any suggestions on what else would get good gains without upgrading the turbo would be very helpful. Thanks

Do all your supporting mods just make sure you save all your stock parts. If there is a problem put the stock parts back on and bring it to the dealer. It may be alot of trouble but it's worth it if something expensive breaks an needs to be replcaed. That's what I would do if I had a warranty. Somebody with more warrnaty related experience might have a better idea.
 
Get the Agp T25/T28 its a T28 inside of the T25 and they wont have a clue =0) nice mod there =0) and you wont need to pull it when it comes to going back to the dealer cause its a stock turbo to the eye =0)
 
A local down here to his car to carmax for warrnety work. He was getting a fuel problem solved got it back with a blown motor and a few valves eaten. They do such great work!!!!!
