Its a good idea to adjust your mbc when it starts to get colder because the settings used in the summer sometimes produce too much boost in the winter.
The only time you have to any sort of ecu problems related with temp. outside and with the car not tuned correctly would be with the AEM EMS (stand-alone fuel management system). Its a great tool but it takes a good amount of tweaking/learning/adjusting/money and don't feel its the best option for a daily driven evo8.

Again you are spewing unrelated and crap info here. No one is asking anything about AEM. AEM= the best option for daily driven Evo? Please
Steer clear of this thread with your poor info.

I didn't criticize you that time, but I'd gladly do so if you prefer. You don't have an Evo, yet you're littering this place with basic questions and misinformation without doing your homework first. I stand by my statement that a flash is best for those who don't know what they're doing. It's the truth...you said it youself: it's maintenance-free and hassle-free. In other words, you don't have to do anything except pay for it and be glad that it works...not realizing there is more to gain if you do your own tuning and that it will cost more later when you add more mods. I would spend some time explaining why you should keep the S-AFC from your Tib, but you don't deserve my time at this point. Maybe I'll change my mind later or someone else will help you in my stead.

to try and stay away from getting yer ecu reflashed for mods or getting a safc i would think the best thing to do is get all the mods you want and get them on and then just get a reflash....cause i know with me im going to do a quite a bit of basic mods and then get a relfash and then just chill for a bit and not mod...

If you don't ever add mods again after that, you won't deal with having to pay for a reflash...
If you never plan on racing your car with race gas, then you won't have to worry about having no control over your tuning...

There are subscription services available where you can reflash for free -mail in flashes in a given period of time as your mods progress. Jestrtuning has this program.
