Default Another newbie waiting to get his chain yanked

How does upgrading the hoses and BPVs affect the warranty? Not that it matters because I already am chipped so AoA is probably going to rape me if my car blows up, but I'm just curious...

Default you picked the right color by the way...they'll find a way to screw you out of a warranty on those..

parts...some people were even afraid to replace their hose clamps with different ones.

Default It could be trouble...

Some dealers are being sticklers about it... so it really depends on the dealer -- it's an excuse for them to be a hardass, if they want to be.

Not any worse than chipping. If you dealer already knows about the chip, have at it.

Default YES, IT COULD MEAN TROUBLE IN PARADISE!...

I am so surprised at how many people do this all to obvious mod and bring there cars in for service. I know someone who is digging deep for a $8000 blown turbo repair thanks to them having brought their car in w/ aftermarket b/p valves in place (after his aftermarket chip was already removed and he had cleared all codes).

I cannot figure out why people are that mod happy. My stock valves have been flawless!! If ain't broke, don't fix it!!
