Re: Evo8 ECU in a 1G DSM

No alt map, but you can put 2 tunes on 1 chip and have them switch via a wire like how you activate alt map.

The main problems with the Evo ECU are it's over zealous/flaky knock control, flaky idle control compared to DSMs, and all kinds of new CELs that 1Gs don't normally ever have to deal with. The EcuFlash software is quick and easy to use though and EvoScan is pretty good.

Can you still even buy the $100 reflash cables new anymore? If you don't want to have to pull the 1G ECU out every time to make changes, $175 for a new Ostrich is still cheaper than $100 for an Evo ECU and $100-$190 for a reflash cable though. And the Ostrich can also make changes in REALTIME, no turning the car off to reflash and cycling the key.
