One of the guys that did their development work was flown out to Portugal by Bowler to sort out the mess that another "tuner" had made of one of tha Dakar Wildcats.
You usually have to send the ECU away, so your vehicle will be off the road for a while
If you ever have problems with the vehicle, you can run into issues with getting diagnostic information from the vehicle
Warranty claims aren't much of an issue I am guessing due to the vehicle age, but that is another factor.
Plug-in solutions may not be perfect from a technical perspective, but they do have some advantages
If you mess with the ECU then you'll need a rolling road as you have done a few miles.

Not really, although all remaps/ecu work SHOULD be done on a rolling road 99.9% are not, proving its not essential.
means visting the 'supplier' - but only takes 10 mins when your there.

All the chip/relfash does is alter the fuel map... and at times plays around with throttle progression. Getting Info stored in the ECU is no different from a standard vehicle.

With a good tune, a bigger intercooler and with the boost up a little bit (17psi is good - though most of the interupter boxes don't like it when you do this... well the ECU doesn't - it gets too confused) you'll have quite acceptable performance.
