Only voids your warranty if it can be proven without a doubt to be the cause of the specific malfunction.

QFT. Getting friendly with your dealer is always a good idea as well.

Here's Some good reading about aftermarket parts vs warranty

Magnunson-Moss Warranty Act - Aftermarket Parts

Sorry, my online acronyms are not very diverse. What does QFT stand for?

Here is my standard reply to any customer with any warranty related concerns:

No dealership, nor a regional manufacturer's representative, nor a vehicle manufacturer can EVER void any part nor whole of a vehicle's warranty.

It's against federal law.

Lookup the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act and the Clean Air Act Warranty Provisions of 1975.

Any of the above mentioned parties can only refuse to honor an individual warranty claim on a singular repair/item/part IF AND ONLY IF the problem that resulted and subsequently required the replacement of that part was solely as a result of a given modification.

If there is no direct cause and effect, the warranty claim must be honored.

The burden of proof concerning this cause and effect relationship is on the dealer, NOT the vehicle owner.

If the dealership refuses to honor the warranty claim or continues to give you a hard time, quote the above mentioned federal laws to them and get a lawer.

The only exception to this law is that a manufacturer may deny a warranty claim for the use of a specific product IF AND ONLY IF that product has been prohibited for use by the FTC (Federal Trade Commision).

It's quite sad that dealerships try to scare people into not modifying their vehicles as though they actually have the authority to partially or fully void a warranty. They don't have any wherewithall to do anything of the sort. These federal laws exist to protect the customer, not the dealership nor the manufacturer.

thanks guys one more for u what else can i do to my coupe that wont cost much but will give me a good amount of more power

Exhaust and a tune will be the biggest "bang for the buck" modifications on any turbocharged car.

Getting rid of restriction in the exhaust flow (completely removing or using high flow cats), and then tuning the engine for more boost, fuel and timing will see the biggest gains. The Dynojet CMD seems to be one of the most worthwhile tuning options right now, altho I recall reading that Cobb was looking into releasing their AccessPort for the Genesis Coupe.

thanks bro also the forge bov compared to any other one what is the best just looking at my options

I've been comparing BOV's for a while now, looked at Tial pretty hard too, but Forge is the best for the price, and since it doesn't use a diaphram it's pretty solid too. I'll be picking one up in a few months or so, and if you are thinking of a reflash you'll want a better than OEM BOV.

I'm not really down with the practice of directly comparing our products to other companies in order to bolster ours over theirs.

What I can tell you, however, is that the vast majority of other companies offer only 1 or 2 types of universal style valves that must then be adapted to a given application. This is fine from functional standpoint, but it typically increases the cost considering various adapters and other hardware or fabrication required to install them.

We offer, without question, the absolute largest range of application specific and universal valves in the world.

We make over 60 different setups to accomodate virtually any OEM and custom turbo and supercharged application. I guarantee you will not find this from any other manufacturer.

We develop our products from the ground up to be used on a particular turbo/motor/car, and design each valve around the requirements of the application. I just don't believe that one valve from a given manufacturer is suitable for ALL applications. Each will have a unique set of design and operational criteria that needs to be considered.
