That is soooo 2000!

I had my 1.8T A4 back in the day tuned that way. Shipped off the ECU to APR, who flashed it in a day, and shipped it back same day. Not a big deal. Everyone did it back then, and noone freaked out, b/c it was the norm.

As long as you've got a reputable tuner IMO, you'd be fine. They've done hundreds if not thousands of soldering jobs like that probably.
