Yes, any ECU modifications can be reversed and speaking personally, we give you a no quibble 7 day trial period and warranty the programming for life.

Its very hard to be certain a car is remapped if its done properly as the only way to check externally is via the file checksum, and in most cases we leave it exactly the same.

I can get my passat chipped cheap through a mate, what makes this map different to one of these, could be same? What I'm getting at is with Stu's name to them must be decent, but how, checked by him or done by him etc?
Yes, either myself or Kenny personally recalibrate every single file an installer sends to us. We NEVER buy files in from elsewhere.
As for differences, you would be shocked at some of the garbage done out there. Its dangerous and depressing as its bringing the whole industry down and giving those of us doing a proper job a bad name.

Of course we also have insurance backing with a major UK insurer and can normally get you insured at the same premium or less than you paid before remapping.

We can all do things BMW cant with their ECM's, especially the EDC units. Its still easy to damage one with various procedures.

Was probably an RSA checksum error due to being remapped.
