Don't quote me on this, but didn't mitsu start changing peoples ECU's when you brought it in for service? For an update/mivec change?
I own a 2006 so my mivec doesn't engage till 4,000. I feel it a lot now with all the upgrades/ecu flash by Michael. But when it was stock I could even feel it engage, but everyone else thought I was crazy.
I would say find somewhere you can just rev the car in idle and find out where it really is activating. You'll hear a difference and notice the RPMs jump faster. Rev it slowly up the RPMS

My Mivec F*ing cracks so hard! On both my ralliarts one is an 04 ones an 05. 3.5/3.6 on both and they just launch. Always could setup the Mivec Light in howto ralliart section, just to be totally sure.

04-05 models kick in at 3500. 06 is 4. now will all the mods I have I barely notice kick in at 3500, but when i hit 4500 now it LAUNCHES. When my piggy was working it would be an even acceleration with no real big kick.
