Default Tiptronic and Supercharger work together?

This is a quote from APR's current website:

"Transmission
The APR Supercharger System greatly increases torque over the factory output levels and as such, an upgraded clutch may be necessary to transmit power to the ground. APR highly recommends upgrading the factory clutch to one that suits the operator's intended driving style. APR currently does not provide technical support for vehicles equipped with the Tiptronic transmission."

Why no technical support?

Are there any other forum members who have this combination of Tiptronic and Supercharger with the V8?

How many happy customers does ecodetuning have with this combination?
What warranty does ecodetuning offer for this combo?

Thanks for your help (I live in CA and am a potential customer for this).

I have a 2011 with the previous generation APR supercharger and Tiptronic and am extremnely happy with the car. Currently 38K miles and rock solid. I contacted APR recently about the cost to upgrade to the new supercharger to see if it was feasible and was told that they have some issues with the new system and the transmission shift points being "buggy" and currently no software fix. The old system to new system is an additional 90+ hp and I suspect that that is starting to push the limits of the stock transmission. I have close to 540 HP and honestly don't know if I would benefit with the extra hp so I am staying put. Have you considering dropping a new tranny in or maybe seeing if any of the previous Gen kits are available? It's only money, right?!
