I would personally use the Adaptronic piggy back, and swap in an REW block with Renesis front cover.

I'm helping with it now, it was because of me we have the ECU in the first place. yes i know....wow.

COPY OF POST."Unless MazdaEdit has actually titled their maps it's futile.

Also of note and little known fact, you can only flash the stock ECU so many times before it literally smokes itself.

We had this issue at Speed1 on an S2 that we were trying to get running complete with turblow turbo kit. The owner eventually put the car back to stock and sold it.

Adaptronics pisses me off because on that same S2 we were told up and down that their shit would work, they've done it, blah blah blah. We only later found out that they were guessing and lying to us and using us as the guinea pigs... that pissed me off because it was me that was on the dyno for days with nothing but pure hatred and rage building inside me"

I was the first to do S2 RX8 with Adaptronics, also a turbo car. it makes 270 kws at wheels here in Australia and drives as factory. what is the issue??
i am keen to know what went wrong for you.

Let me know when it's available... I'll need one to make my 20b swap easier. Also, see if they'll build in a way to disable to damn power steering warning light... lol
