With the OFT you can always reflash your original map (ROM) when you take car to dealer for service.
Its always possible that the dealer could "detect" that you have recently re flashed a ROM by looking at counters in ECU (engine starts since reflash, or possibly reflash counter), but the ROM that would be their would be the stock rom (assuming you have reflashed it) so its difficult for them to prove anything, however if they are really after you for some reason it may be possible for them to pursue the issue, however I would imagine this would be unlikely.

I know crickets is the HPFP, I was just listing a few of the known problems w the engine. The point being I'd hate to need warranty work for a real issue and have it denied. The fact that there are known issues makes me nervous about putting a ? into whether I would be fixed under warranty or not.
