If the oil additive gums up the VVEL system, which is very finicky and relies on oil to operate, are you ok footing the bill for repair since it's a direct result of your action?
It does sound stupid but at this point with their record history with me, I'll take my chances with the internet. I don't do anything unless it's really documented everywhere and hundreds/thousands of people use it, even with simple mods. For example, I'm sure you balanced the weights between keeping the warranty or going TT. You trust GTM enough and their work to do so. Things get a lot more complicated and hairier boosting a N/A, especially one that is known to have weak rods.
