I don't think the dealer would be too happy to deal with a customized computer. Just change the tune back to stock and you'll be a-okay!

Any modifications to your stock computer will void your warranty, IE chips/tuners.

They shouldn't be able to tell you had the SCT. I beleive they can tell that the computer was accessed though.

You should be fine. The computer could of been accessed at any time through the dealer or any repair shop without you even knowing it. Just put the stock tune back and play dumb if the ask you any questions. BTW, did you buy the car used by chance?

See, there you go. Who knows what was done to the car before you had it. They really can't argue with you. Just take the SCT off.

Now what do you mean by the ignition lags?
Does it sometimes take a few seconds longer for it to finally start? If so, it's pretty much normal with these cars. Mine does it sometimes as well. Theres no fix for it.
