Ok i have a 2003 evo 8. i want to do some kind of tuning to it. I was considering doing a dynoflash but im not sure. i have a warrantee on my car and im not sure what flash i can get away with. i heard horror stories with warranting this cars. what would you guys recommend for my car. it has basic mods exhaust, test pipe, downpipe, intake w/hard pipping. also i had some people tell me to get the Greddy Profec E01 because i can up the boost and it can supposely change the maps to make the car run right (i dont know anything about the e01 just from others). basically i want to know the most user friendly way to up the boost and make the car run right without screwing my warrantee. any info will be helpful, thanks.

 

A ECU flash on a 03 EVO as far as I know cannot be detected, that goes for 04 as well. But for us 05 guys we are not as lucky.

 

If you're worried about it, you should've left your car stock. Not the answer you're looking for, but pretty much anything you do to make the car perform better is going to screw you over.

 

There is no guarantee that the dealer wont find a flash in any car - it has been the practice however that they mostly have not looked

I do however provide FREE flashes back to stock for those who have a issue arise

Later i can re-intsall your original tune - also free of charge

Although I have flashed well over 2,000 evos I have only had to do this a few times thus far if that is any indication

 

BTW - at the SEMA show on Tues - SEMA is going to offer a aftermarket waranty program for modified cars -= nit sure how it will work but it sounds promising

 

Why is it any harder to detect a flash on an '05 than it is on an '03/'04?

 

Its easier on an '05 as all OBDII ecus (all cars) report the softwear CVN or calibration verification number which is the sum of the data in the ecu

This way you can tell with a simple scan tool if the ecu has been modified

Of course you have to know the original CVN number to compare
