Yes, it will absolutely void parts of the drivetrain warranty. That is not an approved part by Ford. Also, it's not even remotely necessary.

Wow, imagine NOT understanding warrenties or how parts work. Here, let me help: https://gprivate.com/6fqdy

The MMWA doesn't cover modifications like a BOV. Why do you think that the people that get the Ford Performance Tune are so concerned about following the installation guidelines? The whole warranty couldn't be voided, but the engine portion most definitely could be. Regardless, going up against a company that's worth billions of dollars & have in-house legal teams with nothing but time and money on their hands very rarely works out well.

Boomba doesn't produce a BOV... its a spacer... there are no mechanics to it what so ever... its literally a piece of milled and anodized aluminum...

Functionally, the spacer allows Ford's bypass valve to function exactly the same as it does by simply exhausting the boost pressure directly to atmosphere instead of back to the airbox. There are no modifications to any functional components of the engine's control systems at all.

Regardless of how the part functions, it's a modification of the original design of the vehicle & that isn't covered under the MMWA. That leaves an huge out for Ford or any other manufacturer.

If i put floor mats on my carpet it does not void the warrenty on my floor

That's not a mechanical modification. You are trying to compare apples to oranges. Also, Ford does sell floor mats through their Parts Catalog but they don't sell BOV's.

The bomba spacer is not a blowoff valve. Who is comparing apples to oranges?

How about this scenario - your engine develops a large ticking noise, will you take off the Bomba before visiting the dealer?

It moves the location of the pressure release from the airbox to the outside. Regardless, it changes the factory design parameters & the MMWA doesn't cover the aftermarket part or the OEM parts that are no longer operating within their original specification.

The stupid part of this argument you can argue a bed liner caused rust, a mud flap caused a fender flare attachment to fail. I currently own 35 Ford vehicles with most of the F150 in the management fleet with modifications from lifts to exhaust never have I been declined on a warranty.

This Forum now reminds me of my first marriage.
Every thread started finds its way to turn into an argument.

The factory design parameters have not changed. Both conditions achieve the same end result using factory parts and control methods. That being a manifold pressure within the charge pipe at or near atmosphere in a throttle closed state. The mechanism in which the control system achieves this condition is not modified, the actuator is left intact. The only difference is the routing of the relieved pressure. Your argument is akin to saying a dump exhaust voids the entire engine warranty because it modifies the backpressure on the exhaust manifold. It does, (slightly) but the entire engine warranty cannot be voided and warranties cannot be voided in such a manner. The law protects consumers in such a way that companies must prove that external modification caused damage related to warranty denial.

So if the truck has bearing debris in the engine filter on its next oil change and needs a new engine, they cannot "reasonably" blame a chunk of anodized aluminum with no moving parts placed between two FMC parts whose only function is to change the porting of waste pressure.

You do you, I'm not encouraging people to do anything they are inherently uncomfortable with, however, you are allowed to modify your vehicle and the law protects your warranty and is on your side until proven otherwise in all instances.
