Indeed, that is the crux of the matter which I believe Don was trying to re-inforce. Given you have an interest, and do a fair bit of reading around all the various fora about ECU upgrades, but still did not know that RICA employ these methods, I think it is fair to say that there may be other forum members who also do not know what is involved in selected ECU upgrades. For the reasons which you have described, I do wonder whether companies who employ such tuning methods would openly disclose and warn customers about the potential risks involved.
