Merlins EcuFLASH Evo 7-8-9 Tuning Guide

I have decided to stop sitting on this and let it out, as-is and respond to user input re tidying things up later.
Been working on the guide for 18 months or more now, and it will probably never be "finished", as new parameters are found and understanding of the ECU operation evolves.

And apologies to the original source of some photos, if you have an issue with them being used I will endevor to make appropriate changes.

Here is the link to the guide, as it is currently at v1.7a, 172 pages and 4.85M-byte in pdf form.

Merlin has written many guides on the Evo ECUs, including the Ralliart ACD and stock units. This info is what you need that tuning shops probably dont want you to have.

Great stuff, merlin! I've added it to the group of documents mirrored by the wiki, just in case.

Just skimming over the doc, it looks like it was a hell of a lot of work.

^what page # tscompusa for that address error?

These are just the sort of errors I want/need to get ironed out, but need the help of the community.

ok got it, also fixed the evom typos, will be covered in the next release.
