Hypothetically, say I've had my engine management remapped but no other mods, do you reckon your average dealer will notice when it comes to servicing time? I'm talking about a remap via the car's data port BTW, not a chip swap so there are no replacement parts at all...

Nope. You average dealer wouldnt notice if it had a v8 fitted.
Some mapping has a 'stealth mode' that reverts back to standard when you cut the ignition, meaning the dealer is less likely to realise it's been chipped.
Lol, can't argue with that...
Revo remap can be reset back to stock for servicing, Poplar with the VAG and Porsche guys, also you can play with the timing settings and boost settings.
Probably not unless the car drove differently.
Radically differently at that!
I forgot to mention the extra 40+ BHP it delivers. Performance bargain. from
180 to 220 BHP, or from 225 to +- 270 on the Audi S3, Audi TT 225 or Seat Leon Cupra R.
Nope. You may want to tell them though if they're friendly, as some have a habit of thinking it's faulty on the test drive and reflashing the car...
Also probably true - though as the popular remaps are for diseasels you'd hope they'd notice the lack of noise...
