Can Mitsu track ECU changes?

Can Mitsu track ECU changes?
Okay, need to clarify something...a member at another board (non-evo related) states...
Nope, don't want to void my warranty. Mitsu can now track whether the ECU code has changed. I know that it runs pig rich, but that will save the engine, and I've had my fill of popping engines for the time being.
Plus, I've heard that changing the tune on the MR will make the tranny function strangely--shift points are moved, etc. I'm going to trust the factory on this one.
Personally, I never run across any information resembling this on this forum. Is this true or is he making **** up?

Maybe not. My Evo mechanic said, that a tune could leave a weird code in the ecu, which would not say it was tuned, but would give a certain code.
He said they would not know what it was, but imagine that it was a tune.
Who really knows though.

I was told that the dealers could tell the ECU was flashed, but it could not be distinguished from a dead battery. So if you told them that you left your lights on all night and the battery died they would not be able to prove otherwise. I do not know if this is definitely true thought. If one of the tuners could help with this that would be awesome

I wasn't purposely "making **** up", and I'm glad you asked the experts here.
Is there a consensus? I'd like to know as well, because if I could get a conservative tune that would improve fuel economy, I might be interested.
