    Buying another ECU is the easy part. you then have to have it coded to the car to make the car mobile again.

    With the password lockout and stock program loaded, i don't think there's any way they could tell it was chipped unless they started analyzing boost pressures and other engine statistics through vag com, but they wouldn't bother unless there's a means to

    Does anyone know if the ecu keeps a log of boost pressures?

    Was also advised of dealers to take it to get serviced where there not so concerned with chipping.
