Unless someone is stalking you, it shouldn't prevent you from running this ECU setup.
In fact, the way I have it setup... I can unplug the M1 and plug the stock VVEL & engine computers in and drive away (yes, the M1 takes the factory VVEL computer out of the picture -- we run it ourselves, no problem). Shouldn't be a problem to keep the stock computers on the shelf for a rainy day -- takes 5 minutes to revert back to them, and their glorious 12 minute reflashes, lol.

Inspected by the state. In TX (and plenty of others) TT kits pass just fine, even without cats. As long as there's no code or it's turned off, it's good. Their computer just has to be able to communicate with the ecu.
Since you can switch back to the stock ecu and have a running, passing car, then this is back on the menu as a possibility.
