can the standard sti8 uk ecu hold 2 switchable maps ?

As above........it's not two individual map. The rear demist / full throttle thing just drops the boost.
Later JDM ECU's had enough room for 2 maps (megarom) I think it's called.

I have Ecutek mapped car and have the higher and lower boost jobbie. Helps keep a little more petrol in the tank on longer journeys.. . . . but only a little

They only seemed to develop their fancy stuff on the newage cars after the other (Open Sauce etc) reprogramming solutions became available and started to offer added value functionality. As they still have an effective monopoly on the 99-00 solution it seems they can't be bothered improving it beyond the basic map tweaking it currently offers, which is a shame given the significant technical capability of the ECU.
There is also a practical problem with the 99-00 ECU in that it only has a 128K ROM, which gives far less space for "optional" features than is the case on the later newage unit. There isn't enough space to run a completely separate set of maps, for example, but it does contain a stack of option maps for manual and automatic transmission - and you can repurpose the auto trans ones to do all sorts of interesting things if you have the inclination.
Incidentally, if you want a tidy valet mode, disabling boost, alone, won't get you there as it'll still allow actuator pressure, so best part of 0.7 bar on a VF28. If you really want to spoil a potential joyriding mechanic's fun, a 2500rpm rev limit is what you want.

2 x open source maps (this is what im going for)
1 x v power
1 x v power + meth
ecuflash software available from tactrix website and you can switch the maps in your car via your laptop yourself
hope this helps
