After reading much online concerning the Kraftwerks Supercharger, I plan to eventually purchase this system. I have currently just ordered an OFT to have a bit more fun with this engine before going FI. What are peoples' thoughts on waiting out the warranty? Will adding a kit like this instantly void the manufacturer's warranty?
Loving the videos so far...keep them coming! |

If the warranty is a concern then I'd wait it out, because it will most likely void the warranty unless you have a hell of a dealership. I will imagine they'd still warranty things not in the driveline though, so like a window switch or a steering wheel, etc. |

Warranty... Ha, what is this? Working for Honda for over 7 years I know all to well how manufacturers will not honour warranty at any opportunity. If you plan on modifying your vehicle outside of what Scion/Subaru offer as factory optional accessories you are pretty much done, especially with an OFT.

I brought in my FRS for water getting into my left rear taillight this weekend. They're going to call me today letting me know if it gets approved via Toyota HQ. Hopefully my KW kit doesn't kill my chances. :P

I can only imagine their reasoning... "You exceeded the designed specs for horse power of the vehicle, thus increasing its speed. which forced water into a vortex around the tail lights, creating a high pressure zone. This high pressure zone squeezed water vapor into the trunk area behind the tail lights and then into the tail light housings. Warranty void" |

shouldnt be voided for the simple fact that there two separate warranties. your engine warranty is done yes but the body one shouldnt be

Took my car out for a nice drive to the mountains yesterday, really really love the noise and pulling power, no more flat out in third gear everywhere in the passing zones to get by people!

High-Boost Upgrade Options!
Don't forget, we have high-boost options for the C30 and C38 ready to go!
These can be swapped ahead of time while purchasing the kit or as an add-on upgrade down the road after you've got bitten by the 'more boost' bug!! Feel free to write here, PM or call us with any questions! -CJ |

Had a quick drive today to do some data logging.
HOOLLLYYYY CRAP!!! She pulls so hard it's nuts! And the noise... It's intoxicating. I'll be adding some additional resonators to the exhaust because she's insanely loud now haha
