But this will eliminate having to go to tuners and worry with all that hassle. Slap a turbo on. Turn your car on, let it "sync" or run a diagnostic mode, and you're good to go.
I would warranty it for failures inside the operating limits, but not if someone wants to turn up the boost on their own. Boost is controlled by compressor efficiency in this case, not by user preference.
On a sorta side note, hopefully i'm not taking this too off-topic.
But there's a lot of GTI owners out there, perfectly fine taking their turbos out of the efficiency range (20psi on the k03 and it will more than likely crack after sometime). Personally I'm fine with that as k03/k04's can be had for relatively cheap and it is closer to 100k miles that it will fail.
However, if we're in the price range where the customer is spending a significant amount of money (big enough turbo to make power while staying in it's efficiency range) wouldn't the added cost of a professional tune be minimal in comparison to how much was already spent on hardware and installation?
I'm not trying to be a downer, just curious as to who this would be marketed towards.
