So hows the ECU rewritten? Is it done through the OBD port?
I'd bet anyone tech worth his salt could detect it using crc or suchlike. If you're hanging an external box on there then maybe OK if you remove it prior to a service but..... say you have an accident - insurance will certainly detect it and then you have no insurance - the accident you just had could cost you very dearly.

7 years warranty is worth too much to me - if I wanted a faster car I'd have bought one in the first place!
