fuel pump?

No, they can't just void your warranty. They'd have to prove that the mods caused the issue.
you could always throw the OEM intake back on and take it in.

I know a great way to test it to see if its the fuel pump.


Find an empty parking lot away from people/cars/police and make a 40 mph left sweeper.


Or you can go to one of the local autocrosses.
