Correct. That over limit is not changeable in the check. If you physically raise the stock limiter it trips that counter. The dealer then knows that it was raised electronically and that is only done with an ECU mod. Busted! You can also go in and check the last overrun and how long it was and when it occurred. If that is there they will see it. Hence the no change rev limiter to keep peering eyes quiet.

Great debate guys. 
I have an OT question for Shiv...... If you were going for the win in a future C&D Supertuner Shootout and could only choose between an Evo 9 + 50k in mods, a WRX Sti + 50k in mods, a 996tt + 50k in mods, a 996 GT2 + 50k in mods or a GT3 + 50k in mods which would you choose?

Thank you gentlemen for an exceedingly interesting discussion of ECU programming!

Shiv's Evo has done very well in the past so that's why I ask which platform he would choose.

I love helping out, but this where I have to stop on how and what is what in the way things are programmed. Hope you understand.
Oh and Happy New Year everybody!

Rules require a car to be street legal, street tires with a minimum treadwear rating and pump gas. No NOS allowed. Best run out of 5 counts. IMO the best test for all-round performance by any magazine yet.
