Took my car in for service with UR CAI and Boost gauge installed!

And they didnt say a word about it. serviced my car, changed the cracked wood trim. Gave me my keys and a smile and thanked me for coming in! I was relieved.

glad it went ok, but it was just a service, its usually when u have a issue they try to look for things and deny warranty.

What can they say that a Cold air intake can damage? Or better yet a boost gauge?

If you blow a motor they will say that because of the CAI you sucked in too much air and the motor blew up like a balloon...
