Nothing voids a warranty, however, the dealer may elect not to perform a warranty repair based on perceived abuse and/or modification.

Whether a supercharger carries a warranty depends on a few factors: if it only requires a re-flash of the stock ECU, doesn't use an external intercooler, doesn't require modification/replacement of stock exhaust manifold, and passes California Air Resources Board (CARB) certification, it will be included in the powertrain warranty. If it doesn't, it'll be a "race-only" part for off-highway use only and not carry a warranty no matter where it is installed.

However, if they say it won't be a simple bolt-on, they might as well release it as a separate model.
