I've just bought a VX Turbo, which i plan to get modified sometime in the future. Will my vauxhall warranty still be valid if i have an upgrade from amd or courtney for example? Thanks

Anything you modify will no longer officially be covered by Vauxhall warranty but AmD (and I'm sure Courtenay) will warranty all their work. Milltek offer lifetime warranty on the exhausts. Anything you haven't modded will still be covered by Vauxhall. Only grey area comes form any failure of a part which is connected to the mod. If you remap the engine and the turbo blows then if its shown the remap casued the turbo to blow then AmD will cover it, if its blown and not casued by remap then Vauxhall will still cover it. Both AmD and Courtenay are well known and liked by Vauxhall (as are other tuners as well I'm sure) so you should be fine, can depend on how anal the local dealer is mind.
