They have to work around and accommodate the mods. It may take an extra 30 minutes to remove the SC as it would to remove the stock intake manifold. SOA would approve this extra time. The dealer just has to call them to get it approved. They'd rather you pay it because you pay full rate.

The service manager doesn't want to deal with re-installing the supercharger; hence will not take the car unless it's returned to stock, and will not warranty the work because of the aftermarket parts. I do see his point - if something goes wrong after the recall work is done, I'm going to point the finger to his work, and he's going to point the finger to the mods. After seeing the thread with people having problems after the recall work was done, I'm not planning on getting it done unless I'm forced to, in order to register my vehicle next year.
I've read the instructions, and spoke several times to the service manager, and Subaru. I do hope you're right and I'll wait to see how your case goes.
