MR tuning available yet

Has anyone cracked the MR ECU yet? At first I was told ECUTEK had a solution but then after I gave the serial number of the MR ECU, then I was told the solution wasn't available yet (as of 7/18). I can't wait to get the MR tuned.

My X MR was flashed (WORKS P2 flash) and then tuned over the weekend....right after MOD (Mitusbishi Owners Day) up in Huntington Beach. Pete and David from WORKS did it for me.....and did an excellent job. Tuned on Dynapack dynos at EDO Performance.

Contact WORKS for more info www.worksevo.com

Any EcuTek dealer should be able to pull your rom and get it sent over to EcuTek, once that is done it's just a few days for them to update the software so all EcuTek dealers can tune that rom revision.

The car really pulls now and feels great!
Baseline was 264.4lbft and 249.6Hp to the wheels. After the flash and tune it's now 293.6lbft (29.2lbft gain) and 294.2Hp (44.6Hp gain) to the wheels. I was the last car of the day and the Dynapacks were getting really, really hot. Pete from WORKS said my numbers may be on the conservative side because of this.

Mods are WORKS drop in filter and HKS Legamax axel back.......

I have similar mods on mine and EDO will be doing the brain flash this Saturday morning at 9 AM so with colder air and a fresh dyno, I'm hoping to get to 300 AWHP. We'll also do a before and after dyno with the HKS Drop In Hybrid filter to see if it is really adding almost 10 HP like everyone is saying.

Asides from the numbers, which are very good, what do you notice in your every day drive?
Is it faster from a stand still?
Is your gas mileage changed for better or worse?
Does your car behave differently in auto sports mode? How about manual sports mode?
Sorry for all the questions, but I have a MR as well and am interested in your impressions.
Thanks

The car drives the same and it is just more responsive in everyway. And the transmission shifts the same aso which is a good thing as I worried how the SST would behave also. One thing that I didn't do was to do some 0-60 and 0-100 runs with my datalogger. Even my GF commented that the car felt faster so the butt dynos are sayin it is faster.
As to gas mileage, I never clocked the car while in town and will have to wait for another freeway trip to see if it'll do better than 23.5 on the highway.
If you want to ride in the car and I go to C&C often, we can hook up there. However, Im not taking the EVO this coming weekend though.
