Update 2:

You make a very valid point. I did chat with the service advisers about my modifications yesterday and they said if they can replicate the issue in the shop they'd help me out the best they can. I know what "blowing smoke up the ass" is but it's worth a shot. It might take a while but I will be sure to let everyone know about the results.

If not you are screwed 99% of the time.

The reason is that the car talks back to Toyota to tell them what to fix and blah blah blah... If the computer sees you've flashed the ECU it reports that to Toyota and they politely tell you it's not their fault. It's your tune.
