Most people flash back to stock when going to the dealer just for warranty safety's sake. It's very easy to flash the car. Basically plug in and go. Easiest power gains you'll ever get.

50% of customers will flash back for just incase and other only do with the plans of a major check up on the car ie. the dealer issue with the DI system. but tuners now have the update.

but it is a simple process as stated plug flash and go.

I never do it for the free oil changes. I have had two done now and drove my car right in fully flashed and boxer rumbling Only downside is that they seem to want to "test drive" it after they changed the oil. I always see them leave and wont come back for 10 minutes. I don't approve if this step...
