Default Reduce power steering?

I'm beginning to feel that the steering is a bit too soft. I don't have Audi Drive Select, but was wondering if there is a way I can get the dealership to turn down the power steering (if that's a good idea).

I thought I read that some people just pulled the fuse for the servo boost.

Would that void my warranty? And how would I do that?

I believe this used to be true but I don't think there is any way to set the power steering boost level in the B8. Your only option is to pull the Servotronic fuse and essentially go without power steering.

I highly doubt it, and you just figure out which fuse it is, and remove it. So long as not other systems are using the same fuse.
