ok, computers and systems are my business, if you connect your ecu to a linux computer you can see the ecu like a memory stick atached to your computer (the computer program is an .txt file created in unix based systems (siemens)), then you can copy all the info to your hard disk... then you can use the usb port with a windows pc to put the apr software in the backuped ecu, off course the dealer can see if your computer is chipped, they plug a turbo psi tester in the car and they will see an out of range psi in the turbo, that is the way... in mexico there is a lot of warranty refuse in this case... they use this simple way to check if your ecu is not with the original parameters.

revo and apr, just go directly to the dealer, there exist a test mode, then you can probe it before you pay ! and you dont have to send the ecu, i heard that the best ecu program is the oettinger, but you have to send the ecu to germany !

if i do this i'll probably end up buying another ECU and chip it. That way i can keep the stock one and swap them when it goes to the dealer. The APR chip is selling for 450 right now on the Stage I chip. Not a bad deal to gain 40 hp.
