After reading what seems like thousands of posts saying "You can flash back to 100% stock", this is the first time I've seen it admitted that if you do Ecutek may refuse to reinstate your license.
Once it's 100% stock, there's no IP to be "stolen". Hence your points 2 and 3 are not relevant. The refusal or inability to restore the license is therefore of no benefit to the tuner, other than to restrict competition.

I don't get the animosity toward John on this. Completely uncalled for I think. If its not for you, its not for you. Done. I also don't get why so many people are weird about their ECU being locked by the tuner. I sure as hell don't want to get in there and mess around with it myself. Most of the EcuTek guys have free tunes for life and I'm even sure anyone of them would Dyno tune for you over IP.
Why would you want to "try" another tune? Just get with your tuner and say, this seems weird. Or I'd like it to do this or that. I'm sure anyone of the EcuTek tuners would be more than happy to oblige. EcuTek in general has all the features I need or will need for my upgrade path. I haven't seen anything non-EcuTek that is mind blowing. Price may be only small complaint but once you have it, you have it. But that being said, the car is so new, you gotta pay to play.
