hey i just did the boost bypass mod. i noticed a little bit more power but i think its because my car builds up boost faster....it only gained like 1 over stock....but my question is can this harm my engine in any way or void my warrenty?

What pulley do you have on?

I've heard of a few cases where it put the car into limp mode.

and what is limp mode

Theres really no point to run the bypass mod on a stock pulley. You usually do it so that you can obtain full boost past 6k rpm's with a pulley smaller than stock.

Limp mode is when the motor runs sluggish to protect it's self from being damaged.

Yeah, I was told that you shouldn't do the boost bypass unless you have a smaller pulley installed. Something about how when you reach your max boost at full throttle it will stay there rather than dropping back down to stock boost.
