Not sure what that means. I've had turbos and injectors replaced a ta BMW dealer with a JB4 on the car.
Make no mistake, BMW could have chosen not to replace your turbo if they discovered the Dinan chip, it's up to them. Consider yourself fortunate. And if you went to Dinan, they could deny the claim that the turbo failed because of the chip, and denied you as well (not the 10th time that's happened to people).
Of course, it's better to have the Dinan warranty...but it's a very common misconception that BMW honors warranties despite Dinan parts. That agreement has long since expired.
