My friend has an 02 Jetta 1.8T that has been chipped for several years now and is still running well. He has had several unrelated problems, but nothing directly resulting from the increased boost. Except perhaps excessive tire wear

Fuel economy shouldn't really change, because you shouldn't be hitting peak boost on a motor during normal driving anyway.

But yes, it's a lease - and if something blew up not only would I potentially void the warranty but I might violate the terms of my lease and be forced to buy it at the end which is the last thing I want to do.
... its a rental. blow it up, return it to stock and take it back pleading ignorance.

You had "Beat the rental up" in your sig for quite some time.
