Very tempting DE! GTM's kit looks cool, produce more power and according to specs and blogs, is more fuel efficient.

My only concern is the car's warranty. I will lose it, in the powertrain, after the mod and Stillen's 3years/36months optional warranty for up to $8,000 is kinda cool.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I would go with the 1.5 kit GTM makes, and if your worried about warranty just revert it back to stock before you bring it in.

Does this only cover the Stillen parts, or the car as a whole... if it doesn't cover the car as a whole, Stillen won't cover a transmission part or differential part...

Are you having the dealership do the install? If not then even with the Stillen they will throw a fit.

Best option, with either Stillen or GTM (or any forced induction) is to get to know your dealer. Find out what they will or won't warranty if you go boost, I was lucky and was able to get almost anything replaced on my car while my warranty still existed until 3 years. There are good and bad dealerships, just have to find the right one.

Thanks for the advice but I spoke with the ex-Service Manager for the Nissan Distributor for the Caribbean, and he said all factory warranty shops will revoke the warranty as soon as they learn I increase HP by forced induction. Is because of a law here in PR to avoid lemon used cars in the market.

His advice was to enjoy the car stock for the time been.

I have two options since I plan to install the supercharger with my brother in law who has a CIVIC SI 2006 Turbo installed by himself: 1) Buy GTM's Supercharger kit and keep record of how to take out all the mods in case I have a situation with the engine or 2) Buy Stillen and the optional warranty.

To be honest, I like the looks and performance of GTM's now better but...
