Performance upgrades and warranties
I’m contemplating upgrading my 04’ Cayenne TT with the following:
EVO/GIAC Software Calibration
Stainless Sport Exhaust Modification
BMC Air Filters
EVO Billet Diverter Valves
I have read all the posts about how terrific the performance is and have no doubt I will be thrilled. However I’m a little concerned about my powertrain warranty or lack there of. I have been told by EVO and my local Porsche dealer that they would perform the upgrades and that yes I would void my factory powertrain warranty. This makes me just a little nervous as I’m guessing a new motor would be around 40-50 large. I have upgraded other cars in the past but they have all had the blessing of the factory and my local dealers i.e. Dinan and my M cars.
I really want the extra performance but I’m not sure I have the Cahones.
Any feedback or experience on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

If you have any doubts, I wouldn't do it. It all comes down to trust. You might want to wait to see if porsche will come out with a power kit. If so, you woun't void the warrenty. Just my 2 cents, but I don't think I would bother with the TT, the engine and turbos just cost too much. You might wanna look into if the GT2 turbos can fit on the TT, that might be a better upgrade.
