I thought that being TD1 flagged would not affect the manf. warranty unless the mod was shown to cause or be the problem. I can see where there could be some disagreement issues down the road if an engine problem occurred but I have to believe that Audi would know if a car ever had an ECU mod done one way or the other, either somewhere in the code or by the damage that was done.
Apropos to really nothing, ECU mods may be kind of like the drug Flomax. If Flomax was taken even just one single time, if you ever have a need for cataract surgery for example, it permanently affects the iris making an operation significantly more difficult for an eye surgeon. (Unfortunately, I know this first hand).

If I ever do come across a more major issue, I think I will have to look into this more and more. For now, I am going with the morale. Only do what I have to without getting flagged. As it comes closer to warranty expiration, I will do the rest and take the flag.

Interestingly I dropped off my A6 for some minor issues and told them while I don't think there is anything they can do to at least log my complaint about the steering. They give me a totally base A4 which I assume has EPS as well, but that steering is light years better feeling than my A6. Damn Audi get some better software for the A6 EPS.

I had a page printed out from this thread with the TSB # circled, and told my advisor when I checked in, "and by the way, this TSB, I've heard bad things about it, I don't want it".
And he wrote it up like you see above, and the mechanic did not do it. Has anyone requesting NOT to have it done been refused??
