Hey sorry for some many q's RETed but I can't find any info in english. I opened up the case and found a metal redom tag over the chip but nothing else. Would the be some form of id number under the tag?

Sometimes the Japan shops will stamp the label with info about the chip like "hi boost" or something like that.
Other times it's just a "version #".
It sounds like yours is just a version #.

With that said, there is very little you can do with a stock ECU reprogram.
Automatic is the elimination of the overboost fuel-cut.
I doubt fuel is tweaked very much, as this isn't very easy to do.
Typically, they adjust the ignition timing to run a little bit more aggressive.

Sorry I can't give you more info other than that.

R.E. Amemiya will not answer any questions unless you can talk to them in Japanese.

yeah they have a couple/few different levels. the base like ted says is just removing the fuel&speed cuts.

there is an english reader there, you can click on the english email flag, but unless there is a serial type number on the ECU, they may not be much help.
