No but if something goes wrong they will, tbh i was planning a remap on my scoob when it was weeks old
Its all to do with the risk factor & if your credit card could handle any so called non warranty repairs

PPP would cost me £2k+
Buying the PPP exhaust, pump and TEK3 remap is going to cost me under £1k and I'll have a damn sight more than 305 bhp
and If I ever want to whack a bigger turbo on it's £125 ish for a re-remap.So if anything goes wrong I'll try under warranty, if they find the remap I'll just have to pay and unless the bill is £1k plus I'm still on a winner

If your going down that route mate, just take it to a specialist for servicing, if anything does go wrong then i dare say they wont charge as much as the dealer
Good Luck

Im pretty sure the standard STi runs around 0.9 - 1.0 bar boost and thats what it should have......
I remember when Richard Bulmer mapped mine he stipulated that you should NOT be turning the boost up and it still runs 0.9-1.0 bar. I may have got this wrong though, like I do most things.

The paek figure you get on a gauge with a telltale will not be the same as either the target boost or the true figure it holds. Depending on when the throttle is opened (engine speed wise) has a big effect on how much it overshoots the target. It would be entirely possible to have a std car that overshoots to 1.4bar for a fraction of a second but holds 1.1bar in the midrange where a remapped car has no overshoot and eventually holds 1.3bar.
