no sign of it being tampered with, i just cant see it ever hapening
Most modified cars are essentially illegal as they no longer conform to their type approved specs, anything with an aftermarket ecu is by definition not on a Type approved map.
They'll not be bothering with old stuff though as imagine the number of different pieces of equipment every mot station would have to have.
Eventually we will end up on a tuv style setup with approved mods only but it won't effect older cars as once again there isn't the data available.
