so you have to send it to them, let them know all your mods and then they tune it to what youve done to your car. So this would have to be the last thing bought if someone wants to continue modding unless they know how to tune. Thats a minus in my book since the piggyback automatically adjusts to mods

For it to have that kind of accuracy by selecting all the mods piece by piece and it having be effective wouldn't that mean they would have to have put every combination of mod on a lancer to run dyno's and find a proper tune? I haven't used it and we have no users to comment yet but that part of it sounds kind of bunk. I don't see any dyno results either, which would be nice. +1 on the rev limit question too, is there a vendor for works on the board that can answer these questions?

It provides a revised fuel map, and the stock ecu changes its fuel map accordlingly to the sensors. The piggyback then changes those fuel curves.
A flashed ECU still has the brains of the basic ECU in it, meaning that it still adjusts based upon inputs from the sensors.
