Default i have 2 questions

I bought a ABT m-box and waiting to get it. Now if i swap it with my stock ecu will i get any errors come up? And when i put the stock one back in for when i go to dealer(Still have warrenty) will they know i swaped them before?

Also to go with the chip i am thinking of buying the Milltek SuperDual Twin Pipe Cat-back Exhaust, would this be a good combo? Any other exhaust system that would work better together?

THX in advance.

Default Battery voltage error code easily cleared with VAG-Com

My dealer has never said anything. Don't know if they have other ways electronically, but you can see that the bolts have been removed by the paint missing.

Your dealer might wonder why you have a 2.7T in your A4. That would be my first concern.

Default I believe the errors will go away with drive time...

iirc, a power loss and readiness errors will apear. 60/100 miles or something like that will clear them, but it's always good to have someone clear them with a vag for you before going to a dealer.

The mod list doesn't make any sense. It may be a joke.

Default just try not to scratch the ECU box too much when pulling it out. Clear the battery code and...

most importantly...if you have a boost gauge that saves peak hold...make sure you clear it!!! I was in a hurry and forgot and my service advisor saw a peak hold of 1.2 bar and said I know you swapped out your ECU but its cool...ahahah! Also, watch out for the adhesive over the ECU cover screws trap.
