Please spare me STFA - If I buy the GIAC flashloader, can a dealer tell it is flashed if I put it to

stock before bringing it in? .. Thanks! I have a warranty and don't want to chance it but feel like I need the power again and the xmas sales are ongoing...

I may be looking to get rid of my Flashloader with five programs for a stock M-box and some cash.

is it then unnoticable by the dealer?

still take it out if I'm getting service done at a dealer. (Though that will never happen).

by reviewing eprom output or something similar; it involves some work, but anything is possible.

Or can I just get that and it can flash my stock ecu?
