How can I get flashed back to stock?

Since Al is too damn hard to get a hold of I need to be flashed back to stock within a week. Are dealerships able to do this? I'm not worried about my warrenty getting denied, I didn't buy the car because of it. Need this ASAP.

Getting a UTEC. Just to make my life a little easier on tuning, I can use their base map and fine tune from there.

I'm very hard to get a hold of !!!!!! Did you try sending me a PM or an email - or calling me ?

Anyway - just send in your ecu to the address listed on www.dynoflash.com and you can get flashed back to stock for free. You just have to pay shipping charges.

He actually did send me an PM - about a motec - I guess I can't even take a day off for the holidays without being acused of being impossible to get a hold of


Here is his PM from yesterday evening

"I need to be flashed back to stock Yesterday, 06:09 PM

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will be needing this very soon. I am going Motec. I have it coming in early January and it was a deal I couldn't pass up. I have a friend who will be flying in from poland to install and tune for me. It will be set-up as to it can be tuned over a cell-phone if need be."

my dealer told me that they knew my ecu was flashed and told me i had no more warranty and that they wouldnt touch my car again. I was trying to get it reflashed cause it was throwing the p0300 code.

As far as I know his Motec deal fell through yesterday, so he is going UTEC. The guy won't be here in time to tune the car or be able to install it.

Yes the motec deal did fall through, I will be getting a UTEC instead. I really can't be without my car right now as its my only car.

I thought the dealerships can't tell the car has been flashed? The P0300 thing sounds like it might work. Who really cares about the garbage warrenty anyways? I don't.

I still stand behind AL and Dynoflash, I think it's still the best bang for the buck out there.

Sell your flash, man. Al will reflash you to stock and flash the person you sold it to.

Thanks for the support - I concur with you 100% by the way about the warranty. Personally, there is no way I would ever let a mitsubishi stealership touch my car. What ever goes wrong I rather fix myself so I know its done right.
