Do you know this for sure to not be the case??
Please refer to post #47. We've already discussed the warranty concerns in this thread. The Roush supercharger kit is no different than any other and will void a portion of the vehicles powertrain warranty. Also please refer to the Magnuson-Moss waranty act, which will also clarify what parts of your factory warranty gets voided when installing aftermarket parts.

That stings a little lol, but its certainly true for the stock Roush tunes. That said, I recently learned that even the Stock Whipple tune is garbage. When the company is putting their money on the line with a warranty, they are gonna play it safe. Which is why talking about warranties with any of these blowers is moot, as 3rd party tuning is where its at.

But if you are ever in central Texas and wanna line up, my little baby blower might surprise you

No hate, these turbos are baby turbos on my truck lol. Should have bought an 18 and i'd be capable of 50-60 more rwhp on stock turbos lol.
