Can we get "Valet Maps"?

My friend with a Subaru STi has downloaded a "valet map" into his ECU which stalls the car if brough above 3,000 RPM. Is there anything like this avalable for the Evo?

Edit: i mean 4,000 rpm

3000 is kind of low i would think... 3500 or 4000 seems more likely.

No. It's 3000 RPMs alright. Nice feature-you can't drive it on the street!

Can't you just set the revlimit to 4000? and maybe decrease the boost limit?

Yea, I think you could easily set the rev limit to 4,000.
Set the 2-step to 1,000
Enter Boost solenoid duty cycle of 0, that way you can only run waste gate boost

That should be a pretty boring map...ahah

Well 4500 might be kinda high... I'm using a MBC so the boost limit doesnt do much for me. I could still build full boost by 4500. The 2step at 2000 is pretty funny tho

I think an "anti-theft" map would be nice, especially if you were going to be out of town for a couple days or more. Make a map where the car won't even start.

You're talking about an APR chip upgrade. Here's an example:

I may be wrong, but I don't think our ECUs give us a similar option without a piggyback unit.
