ZAP No boost, no bottle, just my foot on the throttle! Legacy Donating Member 7,935 Member For: 22y 7m 9d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 18/02/08 03:46 AM Posted 18/02/08 03:46 AM I thought this part was interesting:Editing the software to increase boost:The BF introduced a flag in the ECU which is tripped when any calibration has been over-written. This means that despite efforts to reflash the “standard” tune back to the ECU before servicing the car, Ford can tell that at some stage the ECU was reflashed. This will then void aspects of the warrantee related to the impacts of reflahsing the ECU (ie engine, potentially powertrain etc). This flag is also present in the G series, so it is important that people editing/flashing the ECU know that they are voiding parts of their warrantee - and that even if Ford dont say anything to you, it is very likely if you ruin a relevant part of the car and try to claim it on warrantee that you will be (rightfully) declined at that stage. No additional protections to stop flashing the ECU have been introduced - but people should be aware of the possible consequences and lack of warrantee support if something goes wrong.
