You should stay away from FI then. By putting either a supercharger or a turbocharger on your engine you're completely voiding any portion of the warranty that the dealer can tie to the significant increase in power. So if your engine shits itself on the dyno (this has happened) or just driving down the street (also happened), then you're out a functional car. These cars
seem to be reliable below 300 hp, but accidents happen.
The dealer will likely void your warranty for a header and tune as well, so you still need to consider what's more important to you. I stopped at a stage 1 reflash, because I like my warranty. They could still void it because of the reflash, but that's a lot harder to detect than a shiny new header. Once my warranty is up then I'll probably throw a header on there.
