To tephra or not to tephra

I am in the middle of what I am calling a build. Basically touching about everything on my 9MR except the short block. I decided to stay 2.0 and leave the block internals for a few reasons. However I am doing cams, injectors, and MAP rev3 intake, which will bring a pretty big 'phase two' for my car.

Its been a few years since I self tuned with help from all of you, but my complexity then was pretty small by comparison of most. Since I had stock cams and stock injectors I really only got complex with the 3 BAR and Boost control tuning (instead of load). To stick with the KISS principle I never jumped to the tephra mod.

I now have to install ecuflash and evoscan from scratch as its been a couple of years and a couple of laptops ago, and I am wondering if I should try and rebuild all my definition files to match what I had tuned with then, or just go to the tephra mod 7. Since my ECU is flashed what is the easier setup to get everything going again, and why.

Thanks all

Just pick the relevant Tephra rom, port your settings over and touch up the tune due to the extra resolution.

Tephra, I can't think of any reason NOT to switch.
