I picked my kit up secondhand, so I wasn't really concerned about that aspect. That is the ONLY downside to the above mods.
See, here's the thing with the Stillen warranty. It requires you to use everything as it comes out of the box, and their tune is a ******* disaster. Not to mention the MAF being pre-intercooler. So if you keep the kit stock, you get to keep the warranty, but you're far, far more likely to use it. If you ditch the water-to-air setup and get a good tune, you lose the warranty but are much less likely to need it anyway.

Many folks might push you towards ecutek for the tune. I had Uprev for my NA tune and I switched to ecutek for my current tune.



Going up a size on injector and switching to Ecutek at the beginning saves you the re-tune when you inevitably want more out of it.
