I'm wondering if you have seen any issues with this map since you flashed it back to your friend's wrx.
None.
Do you feel confident that this is a reasonably safe setup to run?
Yes. Very much so.
Do you have other experience runing ecu's ?
I have tuned with DSMLink and S-AFC tuning. I am by no means an expert.
Are these all the same tables most tunes modify ? like a cobb image or something?
Never seen a Cobb moded rom. I read thru a thread on NASIOC where they stated what changes they made to the 06 WRX. While it was not very detailed, I used that as a basis for my tuning.
I really appreciate the xml defs & image you posted -- just kind of scared to experiement with my baby
thanks,
edit: also after updating all the tables and comparing the two image files I realize they are identicle files bit-for-bit.... soo what i did was useless, but I was under the impression the VIN was encoded into the flash image somewhere.... I guess this is not true at all ?
I was afraid of this as well, but it seems that is not the case. I compared the rom I pulled from my friends car with one from here. Could not find a single cell that was different.
My suggestion is too flash it. Log the car, and if not satisfied with either the logs or driveability, flash back to stock.
