I figured I'd drop an update. 3 months later and the car still is running like a an absolute beast. At this point I will confidently say the 4G69 is the most enjoyable 4cyl NA motor I have ever driven. The reflash puts it top tier categories all time for N/A motors. So much torque, and I really don't mind the torque steer, that just means I'm hauling *** hahaha. Probably going to the dyno in the next month.
Otter am I allowed to post dyno vids on here?

Do you find a difference between the timing box and the flashed ECU, power wise?
Do you find a difference in fuel economy since the flashed ECU?

Power throughout the entire powerband vs the timing box which dumps a ****load of power to your low end. I honestly have not noticed a difference in fuel economy, I prob get less mpgs b/c I drive fast now!!!

not so!!!! hackish knows his ****, this is true, but i have found a company out of california that has succesfuly flashe some of the 4g69 ralliart ecu's. the only problem is that at this point in time, they can only reflash a few of them. there are many varriable right now... the computers varry from year to year, they are different between an automatic and a manual.. but if you are lucky enough to have the exact ecu.... you are in luck!!!!!
