Thank you. Realistically I just want to hear more turbo sounds. I'm almost 40 years old. I have no intentions of modding the car at all. My intentions for adding the intake were purely for my ears. Same with the axle back exhaust. It's not a deal breaker for me though. If I can't do it then stock is perfectly fine for me. I'm a bike guy so I get my adrenaline pumping on 2 wheels. I'm a pretty mellow car driver.Generally speaking the OTS maps on the accessport are pretty safe. And with what you are wanting to do, basically just an intake as that is the only mod mentioned that will require a tune, you would run the stage 1 map from the AP assuming you install an intake that covered in the map notes for that particular map. Like I said, the car would run just fine with little to no issues in reliability.
However, adding anything aftermarket and flashing a new map to the ecu will result (9 out of 10 times) in a warranty claim being denied. Nothing can void your warranty. But it is easy for a dealership and SOA to put the blame of a major failure on the fact that the car has been tuned and aftermarket parts have been applied.
Basically like SonicWagon mentioned, you have to pay to play. Modifying and tuning is fine, but better be sure to have money set aside if something happens and you have to pay out of pocket for repairs.
