Only USDM TRD stuff on USDM Scions. TRD stuff on Subarus will likely be grounds to deny a claim, and JDM TRD stuff on anything USDM will also be grounds to deny a claim.
The problem with the Moss-Magnusson Act is that while the dealership has to PROVE they part caused the issue, they can still initially deny the warranty and leave it up to YOU to take them to court and force them to furnish proof. The end result is often more hassle and cost than paying for the repair. So while an intake, pulley, header, etc may not be the cause of the AVCS issue going around, they can still point to obvious stuff and cry foul. So keep that in mind. Either have a dealership you can trust or a lawyer you can afford. Otherwise, don't modify *systems* of the car you cant afford to pay out of pocket to fix.
For example:
I can afford to fix Suspension issues, so I've done springs/tophats/bushings/wheels/tires. I can't afford to replace an engine or transmission, so I've only done a cat-back. etc.
