you can't have sex in a car without voiding the warranty if the dealer tries hard enough to deny you.

I haven't regretted my choice of FI and which company i went with. 360whp turns this from a fun car into an exhilarating car! The only issues I've had are keeping tires on it and keeping my licence......

Technically nothing will "void" the warranty per se.. dealerships might not choose to honor it as a warranty repair. To "void" a part of the warranty, a specific modification has to be tied to the failure of said part in question - and this works by subaru/toyota having to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the modification caused it. And, then only that specific thing will be not covered by warranty. If you turbo the car and you have issues with your gauge cluster all the sudden, it's not like that isn't going to be covered under warranty..

Perhaps a better poll would have been "Forced induction owners, do you want to go back to NA?".

Notwithstanding hindsight to do their forced induction differently ... I strongly suspect the number of yes votes would be very close to, if not, zero.

I've seen people have issues and go to a different turbo, tuner, built motor, etc ... but not anyone say "forced induction is not worth it, I'm going back to NA".

the only FI-related buyer's remorse i've seen is the great supercharer > turbo exodus of late 2013/early 2014. no one wakes up and says 'man, this sucks. i need to go back to getting passed by soccer moms' lol

I miss the days when a Prius passed me on my way to Oregon.....
