think of it as a "copy & paste" from one ecu to another

So in doing this flash, it would make the p5's ecu do essentially the same thing as if you had swapped ecu's to an mp3's?

Does the MP3 ecu need to be present to flash a P5's ecu?

Anyone wanna trade mp3 ecu for my 5's ecu? Is the mp3 ecu bad for turbo or something, why would someone trade the mp3 for the 5?

Yeah I don't think the advanced timing likes the turbo or vice versa.

Damn!! So in addition to being such a redneck that you watch the roundy-round boys, you also drink bud light.

How are we friends?

Yes you need a MP3 present and a person that is able to do it. I got mine done when I lived in MAryland at Russell Mazda on Rt 40 where I bought my Protege5.

Why do you want the MP3 ECU?

And don't say for the extra ten horsepower...The advanced timing accounts for three horse at the crank, tops. The exhaust and lack of VTCS in the intake manifold gives up the remaining seven horsepower.

You are better off using some sort of piggy back to get the advanced timing and any other changes you want.

MP3 ECU purchase is not worth it, IMHO...
