How many times can you do it until the ecu runs out of maps and you are stuck with the last one. I heard you can only do it about 20 times, then you are stuck with what ever you flashed it with last...

Whoever told you that should immediately commit suicide.

You can flash the stock ECU as many times as you want. Do some research and you will see that there are Evo's out there with over a thousand flashes on the same stock ECU. It is just a computer, so it doesn't know how many times it's being manipulated.

Its more or less the same technology that is in the flash drives that everyone carries nowadays. I know I am not the only one here who is in the thousands, but I didnt get stuck at 20 thats for sure.

there's an algorithm you should override:

10) flash count = X
20) flash count = X+1
30) If flash count > 20 Goto 50
...
50) Eject Driver
60) Explode!
70) Abort

I have 106+ saved ROMs for my own car since february when I bought this one...countless other revisions that I never bothered saving I'm sure and others are in the thousands so basically it's a non issue.
