Well I'm not sure what the precise differences are in the European model. If it's the same as US apart from the ECU, then I may be up for the switch at some point. (We're even lower on HP than the US model...)

It will if you leave it in place and the dealer discovers it, however, it's being designed so that you can unplug and remove it quite easily, leaving no traces that it was ever there. You could also disconnect it prior to emissions testing, should that be an issue in your area.

Definately thinking that way!
Not too sure, I would have to try it before I would commit -
That should be fairly soon due to the fact that the mighty 'zoomer has offered me a fully instrumented beta tester, to get some 'real world' feedback! Due to the connectors being back ordered, there are only a couple of working models, so far.
Feel free to eat your hearts out!

Hurry hurry hurry!
I need 300 NA horsepower!
The fact that so much power can be unlocked just by changing the fuel mapping means that whatever map Mazda gave us blows..
Proper a/f ratios = Everyone is happy

If I owned an 8 now, the only reason I wouldn't buy canzoomers final product would be if Mazda would flash and lean out the maps themselves. I still can't make sense of if the "ECU Flashes" people have been mentioning are just to reset the ECU, or if they might actually change the fuel mapping, etc.

More horsepower, better gas mileage...all for $500?
You'd have to be an idiot not to buy his mod. After seeing how slow the 8 is after driving it I crossed it off list for my new car. But I happened across canszoomer's information and now the 8 is back at the top of my list.

Just one question, please. Why would Mazda have paid all that money to buyers of the car with a 9 hp deficit, if they knew they could reprogram the ECU to make the advertised hp and get better gas mileage to boot?
I hope Canzoomer's reflash works, but I find it hard to believe Mazda would pay $$ out to owners and leave HP and MPG on the table.

if it proves to be reliable, and if it gives more hp, and better mpg, and if it's <= 500, and if it's a piggyback unit that I don't need to alter the stock ECU, why the hell not?

That krayzie Mexican
are there going to be any dyno results posted? Or any mapping results with a wide band to see the change in the mapping? I am very interested in this and I will probily buy this. Also is this 25whp or crank? Thanks.
