As you point out the remap is by far the better option, in this case the changes are made to suit your specific car rather than a broad range of cars a box could be fitted to for instance.
Also as the way the turbo repsonds is alterted as well your effectively making sure of a more efficient running engine at the same time.
The possability of an inbuilt counter in the ECU is worrying with making changes in the warrenty period, ok we all hope for a pleasant time in ownership of a new car but there is always the possability of problems and hence the need to keep the warrenty intact.
In an ideal world the best thing to have would be one of those hand held Blue-Fin style devices which allows the owner to revert between fuelling maps in their ECU at any time.
I dont think anything like this is available for the Civic although I may be wrong.
It's a catch22 situation as you say, better performance gains doing it the proper way and definetly invalidate any warrenty as physical changes have been made. Or use the lesser box method and hope to keep your warrenty.
Thanks.

Very welcome Ian
I've made enquiries about the Blue Fin (yep, best of all worlds!
), but unfortunately SuperChip have no plans for it at the moment
