Yeah, installing a turbo timer is like installing a new head unit. What's next, aftermarket audio systems void warranty because you put an amp in your trunk and ran a wire to the battery??

Hear this the women at
keep saying well yes more boost will cause the warranty to be void. I was like its not more boost lady let me talk to someone who knows what they are saying. She said your right I have no clue what you mean. She was a b. is lucky I love this car as much as I do. I'll get over it and just have to install it myself it can't be that hard with help from this site of course. What can you do.

Did you see the copy of the fax? I tend not to belive anything a dealer says until it's backed up by paperwork that is official with a callback number.

I seriously doubt the fax is factual and besides, it would be illegal. Get a copy of the fax if you can. I'll check with my local dealer and see what the service manager says.

I like having a TT. It gives me peace of mind and it's conveniant not to sit in the car. Uninstalling a TT is not as easy as it sounds. If the head unit could be unplugged leaving the wiring still intact then that would be great. BUT a clean install leaves tie wraps all around, the harness plugged into the steering column, E-Brake safety wire spliced into the E-Brake wire, wire spliced into the RPM wire, etc. depending on features.
The point is this, knuckleheaded salesman and dealership reps don't know wtf they're talking about 80% of the time. You CANNOT void a warranty unless proven aftermarket parts are cause of failure. They're trying to scare you out of modifying the car. Not guilty until proven otherwise is the motto here. Ask any lawyer and they'll tell you the same. I actually wish I didn't get the extended warranty cuz I'm going to mod pretty soon
I wonder if you can get your money back on something like that since it's still a new car.
