best ecu program for warranted car
Ok i have a 2003 evo 8. i want to do some kind of tuning to it. I was considering doing a dynoflash but im not sure. i have a warrantee on my car and im not sure what flash i can get away with. i heard horror stories with warranting this cars. what would you guys recommend for my car. it has basic mods exhaust, test pipe, downpipe, intake w/hard pipping. also i had some people tell me to get the Greddy Profec E01 because i can up the boost and it can supposely change the maps to make the car run right (i dont know anything about the e01 just from others). basically i want to know the most user friendly way to up the boost and make the car run right without screwing my warrantee. any info will be helpful, thanks.

I do however provide FREE flashes back to stock for those who have a issue arise
Later i can re-intsall your original tune - also free of charge
Although I have flashed well over 2,000 evos I have only had to do this a few times thus far if that is any indication

Its easier on an '05 as all OBDII ecus (all cars) report the softwear CVN or calibration verification number which is the sum of the data in the ecu
This way you can tell with a simple scan tool if the ecu has been modified
Of course you have to know the original CVN number to compare
