warrtalon here is a prime exsample how to help some1 then bash and get no where.
I didn't bash you. You just don't even make the slightest attempt to speak (type) in proper English. You continually type "here" instead of "hear." That is basic, BASIC English. Btw, you'd never be able to go in my threads to correct my spelling or grammar, because I don't use improper grammar or poor spelling.

I also didn't mention the Dynoflash 2-stage, because it's not really a 2-stage, switchable map. It's based off boost levels (i.e., 21psi = map 1, 24psi = map2), which means the ECU switches maps depending on the boost you run. It's not a switch you can flip or map you can select on some device like a piggyback. I would never recommend this to you, because I don't trust that you won't blow up your car.

Of course, I didn't know everything from the beginning, but I also didn't buy a crazy combination of mods right away, toss them on without tuning, then come back later and ask for basic advice on how to deal with low boost/boost taper. You obviously have tons of money to burn by looking at all the mods you've already bought plus all the threads you are in talking about buying new, expensive mods. That's fine, but you could have so much more power with so much less money spent if you really took some time to do your homework. It just takes a little effort..both in terms of doing some homework and typing legibly.

I guess I was giving him a little more credit then he deserves? I don't think that the 2 stage flash would be a hard thing to use even if he has very basic knowledge.

No, you won't find any posts by me with horrendous spelling and grammar. "Miss spelt"?? Is that someone's name? Come on, man, seriously. If English is your 2nd language, or you are deaf (not an insult), then just let us know. One of the posted rules of this forum is that you are REQUIRED to type in proper english with proper spelling. I don't make this stuff up...

I already explained how the 2-stage flashes work. There is no switch, which is why I didn't recommend it for you. A flash is just a reprogramming of your ECU. There is no hardware, no piggyback, no switch, no nothing. The Dynoflash 2-stage works by auto-switching based off your boost levels.

Basically, yes. If you are set to 24psi, it would trigger the race gas tune, for example. If you are set to 21psi, it will just default to your daily driving tune.

think i got it. if i run 94 oct at 21 psi then thats what the flash will run. if i turn the boost up to 24 psi the flash will see this and make a switch in maps. now as you said befor if i get a flash i DO not need a mbc. BUT if i get this 2 stage will i need 1 to change my boost for a different map settings. if not then how do i change boost. the only thing i can think of is less led in the foot.

Yes, in this case, you would need an MBC, and you would also have to make sure you never run the higher boost unless you were using race gas, because the more aggressive map will be too lean.

That's what I do, but I tune for race gas using my SAFC on top of my flash, not by relying on a 2-stage flash.

With EcuTek, you'd have to pay every time you want to get your car retuned, right? Sure, it has switchable maps, but with the ECU+, you'd get unlimited maps and you can tune the car yourself whenever you add a new mod. On top of that, the ECU+ is cheaper than EcuTek by a small amount if you're willing to solder the wiring harness yourself.

Check out the forum here and at ecuplus.com for sure. Even has a really good in-car dyno feature. It's definitely going to be my next mod... you could even Dynoflash first to get some things like the rev-limiter removed, and supplement it with ECU+ tuning. I will be using it in conjunction with my WORKS P2.

ECU+ is great, but it requires intricate tuning knowledge. I do not believe this is best for Evodan.

I wonder then if it's not best for me. I have 0 tuning knowledge. On the ECU+ website, Tom's got some pretty good basic info for how to get started without risking detonation, so I thought that it would be a reasonable start...
