Whatever your warranty covers.

You'd actualy would have to read the "fine print" of your warranty or contact your dealership and ask what is warranty approved products.

theres not much you can do without screwing yourself out of the warranty
if your warranty cover a certain part or system, if you alter it at all, that part or system is not covered anymore.

any hfp parts are covered under warranty... the kicker is you have to have the dealership do the work (or so I've heard)... but call the dealership to make sure either way. personally i'd just wait till the warranty runs out and then mod it. the parts will be cheaper since they arent hfp, and you can do the work yourself.

You can do whatever you want to your car under warranty. You can't void the warranty by installing aftermarket parts. If something breaks on your car, it is the dealers responsibility to determine if the reason your car broke was because of the aftermarket part. If that was the case, then they don't have to fix it under warranty. Otherwise, they do.

parts may not void your warranty out right... but just about anything you do, they are going to say your car broke because of the aftermarket parts and you would probably have to take them to court and take it to multiple mechanics to prove otherwise. even if you were right about it, its going to be a huge hassle to prove it, because like it or not, right or wrong, the burden is on you to prove that your parts didnt cause the damage.

a turbo kit will definately void your warranty. there are no good ems's out for your car yet though.

Mungsen Moss Warranty Act states only that a dealer cannot void warranty over replacement parts that are of higher standards than the manufacturer.

All said and done...the dealer will void your warranty if they want to void it..PERIOD. If you are REALLY concerned, ask them before you do anything. And i would say a turbo would void pretty much all engine/powertrain warranty...
