Are you just going to remove the entire turbo kit and reflash a stock tune every time something bad happens? Good luck, I've never seen anyone work that hard or pull it off. Not to mention if they are trying to warranty something big like powertrain related, they'll search the flash-counter. And if you are t-charged, then your counter is likely to be a sky high number from tuning.

There is also no built in flash counter in the ECU - EcuTek has their own flash counter that dealer tools do not see or understand.
When the car comes in for a warranty flash update the dealer tools puts a flash count on the ecu. Only dealer tools can see or change this flash count - much like EcuTeks own flash count.
If there was a flash update available you most likely hear from me first but nothing to worry about. If and when this happens you will backup your new dealer flash with a EcuTek cable so it can be put back in at a later time.
Also with the EcuTek tune the dealer tools or any other flash tools will not be able to override the flash - basically you can not lose your tune when going in for service work.
If you have anymore technical questions about the ecutek tuning tools feel free to take a look at my flash info thread in the ecu technical section as it contains a lot info about this stuff.

In addition, removing the header + turbo + piping looks to be fairly straightforward and rather easy on this motor setup.
