If a company employed a good Quality Control check on the reflash, before sending the ECU back to the customer, there would be very little chance of faulty reflashes getting out to people...right? OR is this error something that a person will only notice once the ECU is placed back into his car and is driven?

Shiv- And again we are looking for excessive advance in the low rpm range as compared to typical timing advance characteristics of a stock EVO as refrenced by you earlier in this thread correct?
I have some OBD II datalogging software, but need to get a connector cable from somewhere.

That's correct. While it is likely that there are other issues involved, it's the low rpm/low load advance issue that jumped out at me first. After seeing that, I never reallly investigated it further.

Shiv,
Is getting a reflash the ONLY way to raise your rev limit? Can an e-manage/XED/etc. do it?
Thanks.

Shiv, to be COMPLETELY off topic, what's up with the Xede orders?! I ordered mine almost 2 weeks ago and my credit card hasn't even been charged. I'm biting my nails until I get it. What's the story? Supply problems? PMed you and emailed Vishnu tuning with no responses. Thanks and back to your discussions .

Obviously Works has the majority of the Evo reflash business. So Shivs post does seem to insinuate that Works customers need to be concerned. But the Works reflash is also a direct competitor to the Exede. This post seems more directed at scaring people away from Works than informing Vishnu customers about thier reflash progress. Shiv had to know how this post would play out here. The only person on here that has had a known reflash problem had the work done at RMR. I have not heard one negative comment about the Works reflash by people who have purchased it. Maybe Works knows more about the Evo code than the other competitors? I don't mean to be backing Works because I have never purchased anything from them but this seems fishy. I also have heard only good things about the Exede and Vishnu products.
I have neither but have been seriously considering both. Just waiting for everything to get sorted out. This post just doesn't take a genius to figure out imo.
