Just the ability to read higher airflow values in the base maping. More resolution would mean that the load and rpm blocks would increase but not the end set of parameters. Meaning that if the rpm scale started at 0 and ended at 7500 with 10 rpm sites it would be a base scale. If it had more resolution they would still end and begin with the same values but, they would have more that 10 blocks of rpm sites.
The block also does not have any revised or reconfigured coolant passages. The head passages were made a bit more unrestrictive to allow the coolant to flow with less restriction. There by not allowing the heat to soak into the head and surounding areas.

You peak should be around 20psi.

Mivec is adjustable cam gears... at higher revs it adjusts your cam gears... its not going to make that big a difference.
The turbo is what makes 95% of the power. The MiVec tries to make the power output linear but really isnt going to give you much.
The different coolant passages in the head are interesting, I would like to see how it helps out with knock control.

the M3/M5 uses a Double VANOS system.. that makes more 100+bhp/liter... and we arent talking about 2liter 4 cyc with no tq..... talking about a 3.2L with 333bhp and equal TQ... and have TQ across the board in the m3... i dont want to even wnat to get into the M5....
Porche uses their Variocam system... which they have uses to reach their unbelievable power bands for their cars...
MIVEC has the potential an ****ING amazing system it just needs time.... look at the Honda Crews... they all talked bad on I-Vtec ... that was until they found out how to tune it properly ... and they have unleshed stupid numbers (for Hondas) out of their K motors...

Its just pointless for people to really think this is some great addition. What do they honestly expect the MiVEC to do for them? Its not going to give them some advantage... maybe on a bone stock car but even then... in a race it wont matter because you shouldnt be driving under 5k anyways if racing. If you mod the car it will make it worse, you need to try to find someone to custom make you a cam as opposed to us which have our choices from tons of different cams.

Being able to map and adjust the lobe centerline angles can yeild substantial benefits. It allows you to adjust your IVC based on RPM or your valve overlap based on boost, etc etc etc.
Extremely usefull, but not as well understood as larger turbos and stroker motors.
