No you will be fine ... Your tuner will re-write a new map over the remap you already have

If you flash over what you have you will loose it and be left with whatever flash you choose. A flash overwrites the ECU completely.

If you have someone overwrite or reflash your current ecu that has the MPPK in it with a different tune, then yes you will loose the MPPK tune / flash.

If you have them change out your current ecu with a different one that has another tune in it then the MPPK will be retained in the old ecu.

The PPK DME, if you were upgraded, is compatible with flash tunes, but will be written over when it's flashed.

Some things aren't impacted, like the burble for instance, but other things are...I've done it, no big deal.
