Remember, GW has staked their business model on rebuilding the WBX, sometimes to ridiculous degrees and expense, IMHO. They don't want to encourage any conversions, even if their stuff works fine with them. I plan on using their SS muffler with my Subaru conversion and I'm sure it's not warranted for that.

Answer was still "no". I figured since the Jetta 2.0 isn't rated too much higher than OEM 2.1 WBX the warranty might remain valid. Neil.
