[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 15761506, member: 20202"] I believe it was on a KTM but I don't know for sure we were discussing lots of stuff and may have missed exactly what bike he was referring to. I would not be surprised if Ford incorporated this feature on the newer performance cars it's easy to do and will spare them the expense having to fix something an overzealous owner caused. Ford got burned pretty badly with warrantee repairs in the early days of their supercharged engine offerings. Guys would mod the hell out of the engine then blow it up. They brought it back to stock and re-flashed the ECU with the factory tune and brought it in for the warrantee repairs. Any dealer who was keen on this would look the engine over especially the blower pulley bolt and the mounting bolts, any tool marks on the fasteners was a big red flag. I think they could also see if the ECU was re-flashed but those systems were not as sophisticated as they are now and was easier to get away with. [/QUOTE]
