Cobb Tuning Access Port Is Now Available For The Evo X!
If you are talking about the stock boost system with the factory pill, you are correct. If you are talking about the stock boost system with a upgraded boost assembly, like the Works one, tuned correctly, you are incorrect.
How does the AP erase the flash counter from the ECU?
Lets say upload 5-10 maps playing around...isnt Mitsubishi going to see how many times ive flashed my car and void my warranty?

We tried to pick them up last night over at Cobb Tuning (they are local to us), and they where just finishing putting them together. We will have them early next week. So we can have them to you guys by end of next week with standerd shipping, or even faster with 1 or 2 day shipping.
You can log knock, or another great way to monitor it is via DIA. It will add timing if the ECU is happy, or pull timing if it sees knock. This way if its cool outside and you have some fresh gas,you car can add up to 5degrees of its own timing, or start pulling timing if its super hot outside or you got bad gas. This is how its set up on the Subaru Application, and works great. As the ECU will monitor itself to make sure that it does not blow up the motor, but yet give you maximum performance.
We are not sure on the Flash counter. I think one of the guys from Cobb could help out with this. However when uploading maps you can 1) Reflash ECU or 2) Over ride the OEM map, but will not reflash the ECU(if you loose batt. power the car will go back stock ECU map)
These are designed to work with stock cars(as of right now). So if you changed your boost system, you will want to revert back to stock. We also recommend sticking with a stock Boost system unless Cobb has specified to change it out. As the ignition and fuel maps are related closely to Boost curves, running extra 3-5PSi over what the map was intended for, will cause huge issues with running lean or the car stumble as the ignition might be to much and cause the ECU to pull back timing as it might sense knock. Learned knock ignition will pull timing if the car is crating to much knock, and extra boost(raising boost levels or how fast it comes on) where it was not intended to be will cause the motor to knock. So the extra boost can actually take away performance. Plus with race tuner already available, if you have a local tuner a Stage2 map can easily be created from this Stage1 map. Don’t play with fire (raising boost), or you might get burned (loose performance, or pop a motor), unless you change the ECU parameters accordingly.

Subaru has adaptive ignition control - Mitsubishi does not
The access port units will all have on board data logging capability it is in the works which will alllow end user to actually data log the sensors
At this time you could use the X unit to watch knock by looking at the gauge function and watching knock and timing
