if you flash your ecu can you get it back to the stock flash and the dealer would never know??

Im tempted to do this but I have an extended warranty to 75k and wouldnt want the dealer knowing i reflashed

That's never been an issue for any of my customers, they've rolled back and the dealer is clueless.

dayum, good job on posting those helpful tips. I dont trust myself on doing it. Question, how much horsepower the OEM ecu can handle?

Thank you

I am currently driving my evo daily. So I can copy my stock flash and still drive my car until I get the tweeked one back? No down time?

Yes. The only downtime involved in copying an sending away your ROM is having the car off to read the ROM (15 seconds or so.)

Has anyone ever tried the M1+restrictor pill removal setup at and autocross or track day event? Im sure there are no problems with it at a drag strip or on the street but what about long periods of WOT? Is the boost set too high for this??
