    What they don't know won't hurt... Get it flashed through the diagnostic port, then re-flash it if it needs to go into the dealers for warranty work on the ECU. I remapped mine before it was a year old. But if your wheels fall off (for example), the dealer can't throw out your warranty claim because you remapped the car - it's an unrelated part.

    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs
