Evo ECU reflash limit
Is there any physical limit to how many times one can reflash the Evo ECU? What exactly is the Xflash reflashing? An eeprom? Has anyone actually tried to reflash it many thousand times?
thanks a million [reflashes]

Look to the right of your steering wheel under the dash. There's a port, like a plug that is used for a flash unit and to read signals from the ecu. There is a flashable chip in the ECU.
You can use a flash unit, like the one made by Techtom, to change perameters in boost limit, rev limit, top speed.
I think it works just like a CF card. It's flash memory, so yeah, I'd bet you could flash 1000 times (and I'll bet the God of Power has come close to that number), but why?

why?
Am I wrong or is the interface for changing ECU mapping parameters propietary to mitsubishi?
