What does Shiv think of the FP EvoGreen?
IMO a key advantage of the XEDE is the increase in overall resolution over the stock ecu. Here in California with only 91, the ability to cut off a half a degree instead of a whole one can come in handy, as a single degree drop in timing causes major losses in power. The list can go on for other functions, inputs, outputs and controls...ie...NLS, conditionals etc.

What Alfred is refering to is the XEDE allows fine tuning withing Safe parameters in 0.1 of a degree optimizing Safe performance , not using it to tune to the bleeding edge...there is a big difference in interpretation.
There are three reasons that I hang on to my Xede:
1. The Two maps that I can switch back and forth. Sometimes I wish there were three maps that I can switch between, 91 ocatne, 93 octane, and 100 octane. But two maps is fine by me.
2. The boost controller function of the xede. Not having to deal with an MBC is fantastic.
3. The ability of the xede to fune tune the timing in 0.1* increments. With a flash you can only do it 1* at a time.
The thing that I hated about the xede is the inability to easily figure out real timing. Thanks to Innovate, this problem has been solved. You can now log all the Xede parameters via Logworks.

Unfortunatly, it requires a little bit of programming knowledge to use. I'm always too busy to create binary packages.

With tuning the stock ECU you are always trying to keep it happy...the sensitivity to engine noise is a real pain but if this issue is not addressed you will find the stock ECU pulling timing and thus not making any power
The ECUs reaction to this pre programmed sensitivity is not actual knock or even a less than perfect condition in the map.
As I understand it, the Xede will deaden this sensitivity by 20% allowing you to get a bit more aggressive with timing etc. before the factory ECU pulls in the riens....also the Xede has the ability to move timing a fraction of a degree as oppose to only a full degree in the Ecuflash software...this allows more precise ignition advance
This is what I understand as being the benefits of the Xede over Ecuflash....
I would hope Shiv will jump in to confirm or correct me as this is his forum and he knows a whole lot more about the Xede than I do
Hope this helps
