Due to a warranty issue yes.

Brcause you messed with it or screwed it up I would think no.

Just to let you guys know, the turbo upgrade kit (electrical) is ONLY warrantied for ONE year. Just found this out. I had an upper MAP sensor got out from the kit; sensor was cheap, but I had to pay for it. Oh, and for visist at the HHR doctor.

I assume you are looking to reset it to normals since you have removed non-stock parts. Unless you put an aftermarket tune in there on top of the kit, it has been stated on this forum that all you need to do is disconnect the negative on the battery for I think 30 seconds or a minute and you will accomplish the same thing. It will set all the levels etc back to standard for the kit.

The program is already set in GM's system for your VIN so yes a new computer would be flashed with the upgrade program. You would have to pay the labor for the programming.

Well I guess I don't need to get it reflashed since I screwed it up. Ugh. I was power spraying under the hood to clean up and then it wouldnt start. It will turn over but thats all. I got water in the connectors. pulled it out and try to dry it out but it still doesnt start. What does a new ECM cost? Not my day
