InternalID 9417008 Back After Long Absence
InternalID 9417008 Back After Long Absence
It's been YEARS since I've looked in here.
I got a WORKS Brainworks 2 flash in '4, I think. Then I got a Dynoflash road tune in late '05 after upgrading cams and a WR8 turbo. Then, after a few more mods enlisted Mellon's help in a re-tune in '08. Chris was able to get some driveability back but the car's still very rough in a number of ways. There were 'Tephra' mods that could take the otherwise limited 9417008 InternalID up to 94170015 but we couldn't make it work at the time. Neither WORKS nor Al from Dynoflash (who didn't respond at all) could send me a copy of my original/previoius ROM. I've been driving the car on a limited basis ever since, mostly autocross but again, limited.
It's time to reboot this thing and get it with real road (parking lot) manners as well as the ability to scream the way it already does. I'm wrapping up my other car project shortly (I hope) and will be getting ready to get this Evo where I've wanted it for some time. Given that, I'm looking for some input/advice.
1. I have Evoscan and ECUFlash along with the appropriate cables. I'm using a laptop. Is there a good dash-installable option that really works well or am I better off with a laptop? The only aftermarket gauge I have is a boost gauge so I do like the idea of something that displays gauges like the EvoDroid option.
2. Is there a way to get what were Tephra mods, etc. working on my InternalID 9417008? Dynoflash really hacked up my ECU but Mellon brought it back quite a bit. It's fairly clear Dynoflash hacked into places that the tuning we did w/o Tephra mods, etc. back in '08 couldn't touch. So I'm looking for a good platform or framework with which to begin. I just know Dynoflash hacked up a LOT of the ROM we couldn't touch back in '08.
From there I'll have a ton of other questions and will use SEARCH, etc. I just wanted to try for a clean starting point if someone can point me to one without having to go through hundreds of pages of threads, etc., etc.
Thanks!
