The WORKS '05 flash P1 and P2 is almost near completion. We have been developing it since we bought our MR the first week it came out.
The new '05 ECU has "interesting" data which may be overlooked by some others and could cause long-term ill effects. We are not taking any chances and will release the flash once all of the variables have been systematically defined and tested. We know what it's like to protect your investment as we like to protect ours.
With the new TD05HR-16G6-10.5T turbo and increased boost levels, the built-in boost control feature of the P2 was quite tedious to calculate. Our completely stock MR was spiking to 22-23psi (1.5+kg/cm^2) and while adding our turbo back exhaust with our High-Flow Cat increased the spike one additional psi.
After thousands of miles of testing and on-the-fly boost datalogging, the boost with the P2 flash is much smoother and the spiking has been minimized. This is a very anxious turbo!
Anyway we are projecting to have the '05 P-series flashes ready before Christmas if not sooner (as early as next week). They will be eligible for the current sale pricing going on right now.
Thanks for your patience but we are confident it will be an unrivaled product engineered by WORKS Engineers.

Just an FYI, the '05 WORKS Brain Flash was released last week and the boost control is much better.
Again, we are incorporating the OEM style boost hose assembly with the P2. No manual boost controller nor bleeder gadget is utilized.

Just to be on the safer side, we recommend the 91 version for all you 92 enthusiasts.
And yes, the launch control rev limit is modifiable with the '05 WORKS Brain Flashes!

So the next question is: is there launch control for the 03 and 04 Evos as well, or is this feature relegated to 05s only? And can existing customers with P2s get the update for launch control?
