Its way more info than you need, but the beginning does give the basics of downloading and uploading ROMs from your ECU.
If you get a Vishnu flash, it will be "locked" which means you'll need to get a piece of free software that will allow you to download/upload it from your ECU. That software is here:

Thanks mrfred! Anyone flash their ECU and then go back to Mitsu for service? Any problems from the dealer? I guess it depends on whether or not your Mitsubishi service center has morons working in it and/or they are d!cks.

i had a question about the IX for a v380 flash, if i get the flash from vish... and i need to take it to the dealer but dont have a lappy, would vish reflash to stock for me then flash back to the v380 without charging me for anything? 9i mean obviously shipping... but do they double charge you.

Hey, I'm also a new IX owner and these are some really good questions. I'm not terribly concerned about getting caught since I'm going to get mine flashed anyhow, but I do wonder if they will catch it. My big question is why so much more power for a IX flash vs. an VIII flash? 100 hp at the crank is a lot. I know it may not be exactly 100 given circumstances, but is the IX that detuned or is the claim a little much?

Stump, I have yet to see any reports from anyone at any level of modding report a dealer detecting a flash and then denying warranty coverage thusly. I've had my car in many times to the dealer, because I still get free maintenance thanks to a promotion they were running in late 2004, and I have yet to hear a word. Last time the car was in, they replaced the A/C wiring that had gotten melted by my aftermarket radiator. Imagine that...
IXs make a lot more power than VIIIs with stg1 mods - IXs are just that much stronger. The 100hp at the crank thing is just a guesstimate. The only thing that matters is WHP gain. For instance, IXs clearly make MORE than 286 crank HP from the factory, so the starting point is skewed from the get-go.

Thanks for the info. I also made my own test pipe and was quite accurate on the position of the oxygen sensor as opposed to the stock cap. Thought it was a good job, but now I got this stupid service engine light. I heard there may be something I can do to fix it. Buying a test pipe is doable, but will I have the same problem? I only made this one because I had spare time.
