MY07 STi EcuTek remap plus AVCR
Has anyone with a MY07 STi had an EcuTek remap with an AVCR installed. It's just that I am due to see AndyF in a weeks time and I got an e-mail form EcuTek saying that I should be carefull about using the AVCR.
This is what they said;
"The ECU is very sensitive and relies on being able to control the boost in the event of knock or problems.
It is a very powerful ECU and if it knows that it does not have full control of all of things that it should it can cause some strange problems."

To control the boost. The MY07 STi does not have enough room on the ecu for dual maps so if you want a low boost setting this is the only option.

I run ecutek and an AVCR on my MY02 WRX 
The advantage is that in-gear boost control is better, the downside is that if the ECU thinks that there is something wrong and tries to lower the boost it can't !!
I thought that the Hawkeye came with a better ECU which has integral "gear judge" anyway obviating the need for an AVCR.

Just to add..,.....AndyF and Bob Rawle have both mapped my car
My advice would be to have a single map (no avcr) optimised for fuel, IAM etc taking into account all the mods for max safe BHP / Torque
Then use all of the time
simply tune into Radio 2 when wanting a bit of rest LOL#

BTW IIRC prior to MY07
using the Ecutektoggle doesn't switch to a "2nd Map" with different fueling timing etc. I believe it only changed a few "parrameters" in a data block, things like like min-max Boost!!The new 08 STi ECU is sposed to be something special and may be able to hold 2 or more Full maps
we will await and see Tony

Map Switch option on the 2.0 WRX and 2.0 Sti changes between 2 full sets of 3D wastegate control and boost target maps. This places the load in a different map position which will then apply the appropriate timing, fueling, knock control etc. It is possible therefore to have your low boost map set for lower octane than your high boost map for example.

Not quite as basic as that Tony.
