The reflash if done at a Mitsubishi dealership and it is most likely that MR will come with the reflash

That's the idea, but some people with higher vins have claimed the same problem.

I'm desperately waiting on the MR and my understanding of the delay is indeed because of this reflash.

My vin is in the affected range, but my idle is usually fine. It has happened a couple of times and I get the sputtering at high rpms, so I'm gonna go in this week to get the reflash.

I actually had 4 salesmen surround me and straight up argue with me in steadily rising tones of voice that I was dead wrong about the PB being available for GSR.

As I was about to turn and walk my a$$ out of there, the GM walks up to me and asks if there is a problem, I asked if he had access to the internet and he took me to a computer. I showed them the pictures SCM had posted of the PB Evos and just walked out.

That's why I'm driving 1 1/2 hrs each way, past 2 other Mitsubishi dealers I know of, to Southcoast to purchase my Evo.
The day you made this post i walked out with one of them from SCM

My Vin is above the one posted but I am experiencing the idiling issue as well as terrible gas mileage. Just about 20 min ago I was at a stop light and my idle started jumping and seemed like it was going to stall out. I've only put 500 miles on the car and this is the first time its done this

I also got the notchy 1-2, 2-3 which is seeming to get worse. On top of that my aligment seems to pull to the right a little, i've only had this thing for 4 days and havent hit a hard bump yet

I hope mitsu works this stuff out, I'm starting to regret my purchase. I'm gonna give SCM a call tomarrow and see what they can do.

as well. It's too bad though that you are in Canada. Should be around 2 weeks in SoCal.

Oh right, someone said at the end of April right? Oh well, I should get it maybe a week or two after you guys, since the West Coast do get the cars first

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

Got the car wash too which I gave to a coworker!

Waited for it as it took like literally 15 minutes.
