Where does it say changing the air pressure is a no no?
Anyway, I guess with all the lawsuits like toyotas "unintended acceleration", perhaps there is a legitimate fear for tweaking the PMC/CPU. If something was to go terribly wrong and result in a major crash, the automakers probably dont want to pull the computers out and spend all the time and money seeing what may or may not have been modified.
I know absolutely how much these computers control these days. Messing with things, experimenting, modifying......right now it can actually be dangerous. Especially if you dont know what you are doing. This is already now. But coming down the line, with our direct injection engines..............
The fuel lines are pressurized to 500psi and the injectors spray fuel directly into the combustion chamber. The fact that fuel can/is added after the initial combustion, throughout the combustion stroke, these systems are becoming more complex and capable of things they never were before.
I think there is reasons a car manufacture would want to protect their computerized systems just for safety concerns. This could be one of the driving forces behind this. I would hope so anyway
