2008 evo x ecu brick

i went to a tuner and they did one pull and the ecu bricked. what they told me is the 2008s have a problem with this. they told me to go to the nearest Mitsubishi dealership and get ecu upgrade. they also said that the ecu has a countdown clock for how many times you can flash the ecu. does this explanation hold any water?

Yes. Your transmission also has a countdown for the number of times you can shift. When you reach that number the trans falls out of the car and walks away.

If it can't be unbricked warranty will cover it. ECU's have an 8 year 100k mile warranty trough federal emissions.

And run away from who ever tuned it. No reason for it to brick
