Yo Xtreme, thanks alot for all this info. I'm definately goanna get into that, of course with assistance from friends that definately knows about flashing ECU's and what not. My mind is also set on the P2e flash from works.

Here are the items you will need to tune your Evo:

ECUFLASH Software - www.openecu.org (free)
OpenPort Cable (laptop to OBD2 port) - www.tactrix.com ($89.00)
ECU Unlocker - www.aktivematrix.com (you'll have to register - it's free)
EvoScan (optional) - http://www.limitless.co.nz/evoscan/ ($15 - $25)

So, for around $110.00 you can tune your own Evo. However, from what I've read making "minor" adjustments is very important otherwise you could be purchasing another 4G63...!! :)

Well, I did a third gear pull in my Evo yesterday using Mitsulogger and I discovered I had 13 counts of knock hovering around 5500 - 7000 rpm's. I have the WORKS P2R flash but discovered it wasn't due to the mail-in flash at all, it was due to California's pee like 91 octane gas. I talked to a few other Evo drivers in California and they've had the same problems with their Vishnu and DynoFlash mail in flashes. If any of you are in California and receive any kind of mail-in flash make sure you buy the ECU Flash software and do a logged run. I was able to adjust my timing maps and now I'm back to 0 knock all the way through. It took about 10 minutes and all I had to do was back off the timing a bit in the #2 High Octane Map. I had some assistance from some other more knowledgable tuners but I feel much better knowing that my Evo is running top notch!! :) Now I need to get a wideband to extract some more power. I will still recommend the WORKS P2R flash!!!
