in the service department of toyota's eyes(most service departments), Turbo = increased wear, no matter how good you take care of your car. therefore, any damages you bring in for warranty work, especially those pertaining to the engine, will be blamed on the Turbo.
EVERY ENGINE MOD FROM EXHAUSTS TO CAI ETC VOID WARRANTY. You can sometimes get away with some stuff..a freind of mine has an aftermarket exhaust in his Vdub and they wouldnt fix something in his car because of it (even though the problem had nothing to do with the exhaust)..but he bitched and they gave in.
"The dealer usually states that because of the aftermarket parts the warranty is void, without even attempting to determine whether the aftermarket part caused the problem.
This is illegal. " unless the warranty states no aftermarket parts like benz has in their policy
LNK "you only need something when you know it exists..then it becomes a want"
it also depends who installs aftermarket parts... aka trd parts installed at the toyota dealership are usually covered under warenty, they installed it so they are to blame if it breaks or breaks something...

It's such BS that Toyota dealers actually say "TRD parts won't void your warranty. NO after market part voids your warranty, unless it causes the problem. The only real advantage of having TRD parts installed by the dealer is that the part itself is then covered by the car's warranty.
It bugs me how many people come on here and say "if you install a CAI it voids the warranty". Uh, no. And to the statement above "every single after market part voids the warranty"... does that include fuzzy dice? Think about it for a second.
I'm just a crosshair I'm just a shot away from you
BTW... I'm very tired today. When I saw this topic, I thought a "turbo warranty" was some sort of ultra warranty... you know, better than a normal one.
"You just got the normal powertrain warranty? Well I got the Turbo WARRANTY! HA!"
