alexlees Member 24 Member For: 16y 6m 8d Location: Sydney Posted 26/12/08 01:33 PM Share Posted 26/12/08 01:33 PM I was wondering if anyone who has a flash tuner could help me, if I buy one can the stock tune be returned at any time and if I do this and disconnect the battery for about 5 minutes to wipe the memory could ford service tell if it has had an aftermarket tune. I plan on returning my fg turbo to the stock variables when I get the car serviced to preserve the warranty.

I am sure in a FG it would be even more detail about when and what was uploaded.If you want more power, expect to pay for the breakages this will deliver. This is the prime reason I have kept my car stock.

Mate if you are worried about losing your warranty then just don't mod it, if ford see a way out of something then they will take it.

If it breaks u can just stick it in the shed until u can fix it.
