The big VW / Audi players (APR and Unitronic) have ways to flash back to stock, but it was still evident you were tuned. Some would even flash your specific stock tune vs just a stock tune. But the flash counter in the ECU moving each time still would throw a red flag.

Any further insight on the BM3 and these issues for a newbie would be appreciated!!
From my limited knowledge, if they pressed harder, they would have figured out it was tampered with. I'm guessing because everything else was basically visually stock, they didn't really dig too hard. If I had all my other shit bolted on, they probably would have given me a much harder time.
