Dont forget the _FREE_ basic tuned map from GST that is available. That is a cool deal from them.
BAck to removing the ECU to send it off somewhere, it is super easy. The ECU is only bolted on with a couple 10mm socket bolts. It is under the hood on the driver's side.
Jury is out still on MMSA being able to detect the flash. Before they couldnt from what I know of the system. But with a little escalation in the arms race between "Us" and "Them" they would be able to detect it. Bottom line, dont count on it.

Mike thx for the response. unfortunatly the only evo shop would be the mitsu dealer here where i live. I was back there today as after i took delivery of my 09 RA yesterday i quickly noticed they either lost or forgot to give me the lock for the wheel locks that they installed.
while there i got to talking with the service manager about aftermarket parts and what they could get etc. ended up he brought up the gains people are getting off a ecu tune so i asked about warranty. and all he had to say was. he'd have to link the ecu flash to the failed part. as well as a couple of the techs there have had their ecu's flashed already by shipping them to the US. i believe AMS i'm not 100% i can't remember.
anyways, i just wanted to make sure my understanding of the process was correct. i'd rather buy the tactrix cable and make friends with one of the evo owners/mitsu techs here.
can the ecu software be d/l'd for free and loaded without being hooked up to a obdII port? just so i can get a feel for what it looks like.
all the help is much appreciated guys.
