people will scream magnussen-moss but in reality if you put a turbo in you can kiss the warranty goodbye on anything under the hood. I'm sure your window motors will still be warrantied but engine, tranny, etc... on your own.

Yes, a turbo pretty much gives you little chance of getting warranty
work done on your engine/tranny. However, you could still get plenty
of work done on creaks and rattle, suspension, etc.
It's fairly common (and a good idea) to wait until your warranty
expires before doing any major modding. Hence why people buy 'project'
cars and do all their modding to those.

That said, check with your local dealership(s). The guy at my Honda
dealer told me they helped pay for a new engine block for a guy that
installed a turbo incorrectly (I think he overboosted and cracked
the engine, IIRC). The guy paid for the labor, Honda/the dealership
paid for the block.

Yeah dude, warranty for engine will def be toast.... Unless there is no way that they can prove that the problem is connected to the turbo... Rattles and stuff will still be warrantied tho.. How much longer u got on your warranty?
