Like I said before, the difference in spool up on the graph could be a slight variance in when the thottle was depressed and how quickly it was depressed. This happens all the time with multiple runs on the same car/same dyno/same day. The comment about more lag was from a different person than the OP, so I guess it's possible, but more likely than not it is just coincidental and happened to be hotter that day or maybe the ecu needed to adjust and learn for a few minutes after the flash. Who knows...? I'll be going in tomorrow or the day after to get mine done, so I'll be able to comment first hand. It's strange though, because one person (I believe it was DRAG) said that he didn't notice any difference in the high rpm stuttering; that it was still just as bad as before. Wierd...

Just got mine flashed at Max Madsen in Downers Grove. Haven't really beaten on it, but the car definitely feels stronger. It idles at 750 rpm now too, before it was around 900.

Oh, and they threw in a coupon for a free car wash. Not bad for the price. FREE

wow my dealership closest to me deneid me the flash. said unless it reads codes no flash but offered to do it for 90 dollars if i really wanted it.
lets just say i have a case pending with the mitsu customer relations. went to my buying dealer which was out of the way and they did it no questions. and the car is smoother and seems to get better mpg. also i got a debri in my tire had to get it patched. all around a great day lol thank god for the pressure sensors. problem is they dont tell you what tire is low lol.

lol exactly......I ran into that issue with the tire also, I ended up getting a screw in my right rear tire. Whipped out gauge and found the culprit and got it patched......Discount Tire = FTMFW for the free patch job.

Just dropped off my car at san rafael dealership. When I called, they didn't seem aware of the reflash, but they called me back asking if i wanted to bring it in. Getting my oil changed at the same time.

I'll post if I notice any difference.

yes you have tire pressure monitors , its more of an alarm sensor , not an actual readout. it they get low you will have a tire warning light come on. it is on the valve stem inside the tire. should be a little blurb in the owners manual. enjoy. just remember if you change rims you will need them moved or your warning light will come on.
