Loads of plug-in tuning boxes on the market which would be easy for the insurance company investigator to find without digging too deep. Some of the tuners selling points is that it can be removed in the event of an accident , not if the bonnet is crushed closed or the owner is in the back of an ambulance it cant.
An ECU tune would be harder to uncover but if they really wanted to I would imaging it could be done.
Saying "it must have been like that when I bought it " wouldn`t wash with the insurance companies either as time traceable mods could be uncovered , to back-up or disprove your statement.
My insurance with Admiral only increased by £50 when I had the MPPSK fitted to the BM ,too many £££££ at stake so better to tell them and to be safe than sorry IMHO.
If an insurance company wont accept modifications then I would be looking else where for my 12 months cover.
