I agree - if you're going to start pissing about with it after they've set it up, why get the work done in the first place ?

In-car boost is evil.. but if you insist on keeping it, the tuner should limit the max you can adjust it to to be the max they have set it up to, so you can't destroy anything.. but in all fairness, a suitable boost cut should exist in the chip anyway!
