ECU Flashes ?

I read some where theres a few flashes for my 04 rx8 right ?
if these havent been done will any old mazda dealer do it and will they charge me or no ?
how can i figure out if its been flashed without taking it in ? (if possible) (needs coils and fuel pump atm)

Dude. Wot?
I'm not sure if the current flash is recorded somewhere (on the car), sorry can't help there.
But how do you know you need a fuel pump and coils?

Do you have a check engine light on?

MSP 16 comes with a sticker that gets attached to the hood. One of my very first posts here... let me see if I can find it.

Umm well let's see my fuel pump can be mistaken for a superharger. I bought my car from a girl ... Who was under the impression that maintenence was filling it with gas oil and air fresheners and last but not least. I was checking my wires and **** and the wire left the coil with half of said coil attached.

Anything else you wanna know Several parts have 140000k on em

And thanks for this info. I don't think its got a sticker also I think I read that an unflassed 04 when you 20 stomp the brake will not sweepoil gauge. And a flashed one will. Is this correct ?
