This can be a problem as if you assume whoever telling you something is correct, the same in any industry and how marketing works unfortunately. It's like Tescos say they're better than Asda etc, they both just sell groceries in reality.
I've given up trying to find a simple way to explain...
There's also a huge difference between a well developed stage one 'generic' map that's had potentially hundreds of hours development and a poorly developed custom map on a system that lets you edit a few areas rather than the entire file done in an hour or so..... Yes all cars are different but...
What you have to watch out for is a lot of tuners don't actually write the software to suit various upgrades and you can end up with a very smokey car. Also be very wary of some power claims, you do see some quite hilarious ones these days. Software as always is the best return of power for your...
I have heard of some tuners charging for certain trial software. Also if the battery is disconnected on switchable programs they can revert to the standard like settings.
Before buying a replacement ECU it's worth taking to a specialist, on the bench you can recover seemingly dead ECU's with EEPROM errors for instance, if you wipe the ECU then reflash the EPROM on power down it rewrites the EEPROM from RAM and all is well again.
I think it'll be a Kimi/Massa battle initially, Craneboy Hamilton will have more problems dealing with Kovi I feel, with Renault due to release their new W wing aero package at the first GP I wouldn't write nando off either. Hamilton has shown that under pressure he fails, at the start of last...
Detectability an age old discussion! Well any change from standard will bring up a difference in a basic CRC check. Inability to flash due to resident code will flag up another question. The flash counter. another marker. Switching software which gives a car duplicate ID or an incorrect ID also...
No you couldn't just use an ecu off a higher output model as all the hardware is different ie turbo, MAF, injectors and the scaling wouldn't equate. If it's expensive I believe there's a nice little group buy going on over at evvo.co.uk the sister beetle forum to as.net ;)

View it in French the American dub is pants and the language adds to the film although there is little dialogue in it.
If you can read your ECU number this may help you to see what your standard power output is;
