I really don't understand most everybody's concern on the emissions part of this kit. Nowhere in the documentation for the Stage I kit does it say that the emissions controls have been altered or removed. It does increase the availability of the fuel and turbo response, as well as other performance related items. What does this have to do with emission control? Answer: Nothing!

All this verbage on the DC site is legalese to cover their backside in the event that one of the cars that it is installed on fails to meet some state's emission requirements, regardless of what might be causing the shortcoming.

Regarding the warranty issue, much the same logic is applicable. Why do you think that those few who have had some problem with their engine AND had added a boost controller, were sure to remove the boost controller and any evidence of it's having been there, before taking their cruiser in for service, be it warranty or otherwise? It is still up to the dealer or zone representative to prove that any modification, be it from the aftermarket world or DCX caused the failure. If you are going to add something to your cruiser to take it past stock levels, then you have to expect to take some risk. After all, you are the one making the changes.

Lighten up! We've all been clamoring for more performance, and now they've given it to us. Stop complaining and enjoy. I know I will certainly enjoy even more power than I have.

My 2-cents!
