Never tried it. I have the Go Fast Bits Stealth FX and it works great for me. No issues at all. The new version is the Response:

You have enough parts on the car that most dealerships would void your warranty, so why not just get a tune/cobb AP so you can really see some great gains?
If I were you, I would stay away from power upgrades if you are afraid of voiding your warranty. Get springs and sway bars and a nice alignment with camber bolts to get the car to handle nicely.

they can only void it if they directly relate the problem to whatever mod i did. tuning changes the cars entire computer system, like the way the engine works. everything ive done wont change much. but a tune will really hurt any argument i can put up if making a warranty claim.
you're assuming they'll go looking for a tune. if you had a cobb AP and switched to stock before heading back into a dealer i'd doubt they'd find anything. and really most dealers only go digging if the car looks the part. which is why I really like AMS's tune and boost pill for stock cars. Finally you can have your cake and eat it too.

i keep hearing that even if you tune and then return it to stock, they can tell no one has verified this but id rather take care of all the mods i want that dont need a tune and then get into that real danger territory.

tuning is crucial to have a properly running car. if anything, you risk breaking something without a proper tune anyway - defeating the point of you wanting the warranty/reliability
grow some *****; tuning/modding always has risks - if you can't swallow them, don't mod imo

if you're unwilling to get a tune, then any mod besides wheels/tires and/or driver training is a waste

ill get the hfc and a wideband obviously, and thats a decently safe way to go?
also, i can get a downpipe for a reasonably cheap price, and the turbo swap is down the road a ways, should i go for that also? is that dangerous towards the possibility of going lean/ rich?
thanks guys
