There is NO tuner that can defeat the new program that's detecting these tunes... Took my piggy off, had all codes cleared, unplugged battery and took it to a friend ( high level tech ) and had him scan my car.... He told me in short dont take my car in for any warranty work or PUMA claims for fuel system, turbo, sensors related to these items, the ECU itself, etc... the list is long.. FYI: My HPFP is failing due to my tune... on my N55 pwrd car..

Is this dependent on the current software version loaded to your car? For instance, if my 09 is still on original software. is it just as identifiable? If your buddy scanned and told you not to go in for warranty work, then what did he find that triggers a modified ecu?
