Default Any companys do ecu's upgrade like revo?? untraceable??

A company called revo do a product for the vag engines that increase bhp and torque but you can switch the car back to standard ecu settings via a serial port switch.

Its basically a serial port switch that can re-programme the origional ecu to increase the bhp and torque,+ insurance company will never know.

Do any companys make anything similar for the scoob ecu?

Insurance cos. and dealers do know if the source code has been changed. All the Revo SPS unit does is enable the revo code which is always stored in the ECU.

The extra insurance you pay after declaring a mod should be taken into account before modding IMHO.

Depends what model yer but Ecutek would only be detectable by a handful of the experts on here, or a RR print out

Other ECU's have switchble maps, such as the GEMS, but its clearly visible its not the same ECU.

I wouldn't call the REVO undetectable though, I thought it had a piggyback chip to overrride the existing ECU?
