Dealer issues with TBE?

I'm considering porting the wastegate and then making the jump to the TBE for my 05 STi, but I'll be getting oil changes and doing the 30k service at the dealer... Will I have problems with voiding the warranty? I'm dealing with Maita in Sacto.

On a related note, once I PnP the WG and get the exhaust, would it be a good idea to re-flash the existing computer or even get a piggyback? I'm new to this stuff, so give me some advice if you will.

i think the best advice if you want a tbe is put on the stock downpipe before you take it into the dealership

Get a re-flash - Call Subaru Specialists. They are great!

Regarding the warranty - it all depends on the dealer????????

find a place you can trust for oil changes, just get a subaru filter and crush washer...you don't need to do to the dealership. certainly not for the 30k reaming either

.... Those guys there at Maita are pretty cool. The've noticed my mods (most modded STi they've seen) everytime I take my car in for oil changes and service but they never sweat you.

Car Info: No car right now....sob.
The Dealers have been known to void warrenties after seeing a re-flash sticker. So, remove that and you should be alright. Otherwise, how would they find out?
