You will get extra 40-50hp and 70-90nm torque depending on what you are after.
Now with warrenty you do not have to inform them so not telling them a car is mapped is not illegal.
They can and many will frown upon a remap even though we do remaps for many dealers on brand new cars (although at a much higher price) this is because they are told too by the manufacturer.
When we map cars however, they can not tell the car is mapped when they plug there equipment into the ecu, the reasons for this are varied but the latest plot to find work done on a new car is the clock counter, within the ecu is a counter that goes up the more times you communicate with the ecu, our equipment knocks this counter back so if you go to our tuner with a count of 3 and you have the car mapped it should go to 4 but the software knocks it back to 3.
We are very proud to be able to offer this level of security to our customers and feel it a price worth paying in our equipment costs because at the end of the day, a business grows on customer satisfaction.
Now lets move onto "if my dealer found out my car was mapped, where do i stand"
Legally the dealer can not void the warrenty, he can however say that if an item of the car breaks down prematurely "and" is the "direct" result of the remap they will reject the warrenty claim but then they "must" be able to prove this is the case and not possibly the result of wear and tear.
Cheers, Mark

Does the mod affect the warranty, and if it does, is it detectable when they put the car on the VAG computer?
