2020 MY ECU is more restrictive?

Question to all the tuners out here.

I've heard an opinion that 2020 MY twins usually yield less power with a same setup than 2013-2017 cars due to some ECU complications.

Is that really so?

The 2020 ecu is same ecu as the first 2012 cars. There is different firmware in later ecu past 2017 but you can still tune them basicly same. The 2017+ ecu firmware has some extra fueling and timing tables to use\modify but there is nor restriction compared to earlier cars

So with the same setup they should yield the same amount of power? Glad to hear that, thanks!
