While in Italy visiting the factory for technical training I spoke to Massimo, Lamborghini's head technical instructor who has been with Lamborghini for 24 years. According to him, ECU modifications outside of the Lamborghini factory are not possible. He and his colleagues have even shopped around and payed for ECU modifications from vendors in europe and the US and have tested said "modified" ECU's and found them to be absolutely stock. There are, however, rumors of insiders at Lamborghini modifying these ECU's in house and selling their services to shops in different parts of the world.

Take it for what it's worth. Be careful-Don't be too quick to hand $$ to anyone who says they can modify your ECU!
