Can anyone get a hold of this evil aftermarket parts list that SOA has put out? This list would be very usefull and help us get an idea about what we have to work with when it comes to mods.

List

I talked to a Suby Gal on NASIOC and she said this list does not exist or at least at the dealership where she works.

It's funny that this thread is being brought back from the dead because whether it's true or not about SOA (even though, as I understand it, Schuman isn't part of SOA); the prophecy is coming true anyway.

I just called up my subaru dealership and asked if having a Turbo Timer voids my warranty. They told me NO it doesn't. And they recommend me installing one because (obviously) it preserves the turbo longer.

So someone should check out the validity of the post here.

........ But, if they ever tried to void anything b/c of a TT, ... all hell should be raised, b/c it is BS.

yup yup, although what i learned is that schuman can be very scrutinous when it comes to aftermarket add ons.(nothing bad to say of them of course

) bottom line is who pays for the parts/work 2 be done---any real business would not want to fork out the $$ if they feel they shouldn't have to(if cust. "caused" problems) if they say that a "add-on" caused other parts to fail, then thats their thing... bottom line---$$ and who pays for it.
