If these cars are so complicated to tune that a 225 whp kit requires bypassing stock logic and EcuTeck then it cuts off a lot of potential customers.

Maybe I'm wrong but those who buy an Innovate kit with their carb 210hp base-map are paying for more than they need with the Ecutek.

I totally get the need for a $900 tune+ tuning equipment on those pushing 270+hp, but at some point someone is going to sell a ~225 hp kit with a free base map. Probably for $3500 done deal. Its a business model and market segment that this platform needs. Like Flying Miata's $3k kit?
So what needs to be altered on the ECU to handle moderate output like the Innovate/Bullet/Sprintex kit? When do you need to look at getting custom boost control logic from other Subies patched into the ROM?

Does anyone have basemaps from their Innovate/Bullet/Sprintex kits that they are willing to share?
