"I'm a idiot" engine maps - damage?
Discussion
As the fourth mighty Fiesta of the afternoon spat and popped its way past my house from its beast of a 1 litre engine it got me to thinking... Do "hey there, I'm a tosser" maps cause any damage to the car they are running on?
Obviously there are plenty of cars that occasionally flame and crackle on the overrun as a byproduct of the way they are tuned, but it's only an occasional thing... Whereas "crackle" maps are doing it all the time, and the people with them seem to relish getting on and off the throttle all the time to get their money's worth.
So, after a few thousand miles of this do these cars develop problems they wouldn't otherwise have had?
