In short..... no. Any modification to the ECU will void your warrantee, should anything happen.
And.... contrary to what people say.... even if you "remove the tune".... whether you have the tuner revert the car to stock..... or if you completely remove the piggyback ECU (racechip, jb4, etc).... they CAN find it.
While most dealerships will not look for it when you bring the car in for normal service..... if you bring the car in because you blew the engine..... they will look..... and they will find it.
Am I saying don't mod it? No. It's your car.
I'm taking mine to get dynotuned after I get to 10k miles and a couple of oil changes.
But.... if you choose to mod your car..... you take responsibility for it.
I actually got pretty pissed in another thread on here. A certain company was claiming a "guarantee" if your engine breaks.... until you read the fine print. The "exceptions" to this guarantee basically include "any sort of driving at all".
In other words..... the only way they are going to cover your engine.... is if you'd never driven the car.
Once again..... if you choose to mod..... it's your responsibility.
