I can't answer most of your questions but besides the VWR600 intake, if you are worried about your Automotion plan and Warranty, don't do any modifications.

JB4 will be your best bet for warranty purposes because you can quickly remove it when sending your car in for a claim or service. The gains are decent and gives a smooth drive. No jerky harsh gear changes.

You should declare all your mods to VWSA

And I hear that most car manufacturers are using more sophisticated on board telemetry and diagnostics to pick up if a car has been modified.

I would prefer software only at this stage.
Will my warranty be void if I declare my mods?
Has anybody installed the JB4 PNP unit in their cars?
I would like an actual recomendation from an end user.
