Geez... and for two years I was under the impression that Mitsu finally gave way for MAP as the primary! That definitely does NOT make things as easy for folks with FI aspirations as I originally thought.

Now as far as tweaking load values for... :sigh:... fooling the ECU, was there a max limit found for keeping the ECU happy?

I haven't checked in with the whole reflash issue lately, but messing with timing maps on a hypersensitive ECU still seems finicky to me, unless strides have already been made to find that "sweet spot", which I obviously have no clue where to begin, as I haven't messed with anything engine nor ECU with this car... yet. Call it inexperience, but my dealings with getting the stock ECU to cooperate have never been nice. Though admittedly it's with the 3G.

I'd think a solution you would offer would come in the form of map "profiles"? Say, pre-canned maps for mild/safe or aggressive street options?
