For any map, the seller has map notes. Check those to see what parts are supported and required by that map and by extension what parts are not.

any risks?
You are using unauthorized parts and a map that was not released by the manufacturer but by a third party. You are also increasing output. It's not unreasonable to expect increased wear, but in general I think you should be OK. Since what I think won't fix your car in case something does go wrong, keep in mind it's pay-to-play.

will it void the warranty?
If all were right in the world, it should, yes. It should eliminate any warranty coverage on the altered parts and on parts affected by the modifications, but not anything else. What actually happens varies from person to person and dealer to dealer.

Sure! The seller has a web site with lots of map info and parts info etc., and you can save some money by shopping around for what's supported, plus you need to know anyway before you buy. Also, look around on this site, there's lots of info. Your mod path is popular so there will be others doing the same thing. By the way, if your state has inspections, research what you need to pass those and how frequently etc. before you sell anything you later wish you'd kept (I am across the country and don't know). Enjoy the site!
