Default xB warranty worries

I'm getting ready to deploy to Iraq and I am very much looking forward to coming back home and buying a Polar White Box ;) The only worry is.. I've come to leanr that Blitz makes a compressor kit for the xB/xA and my only worry is will it void the factory warranty if I install the compressor/supercharger on my future xB?

It doesn't void the entire warranty, it only voids it for parts that are directly affected by the modification. So in the case of a bagged suspension, you probably won't be able to make claims on suspension parts that go bad, but everything else should be ok. For a supercharger you might lose coverage on the whole drivetrain, but still be good for everything else. Of course, losing it on the whole drivetrain would make the warranty mostly worthless...

My own plan is to not do anything too extreme until I've clicked off that 36,001st mile... then the warranty's gone anyway!

Oh, and, uh, Give Those Bastards Hell!

Ack. You just gave me another 24,000 miles of normally aspirated driving...

Thanks for helping me avoid an expensive mistake though.
