Shiv,

How is the XEDE on the 335 turning out to be for daily driviability? Is there a hesitation point between where the Xede takes over from the stock ECU? I know the xede functions differently then a UTEC, but i am assuming one must know how to tune the system a little bit to take into account different temperatures and altitudes if they travel, or live in a 4 season area. The xede is not adaptive correct? So it doesn't take into account temperature and if I have a lot of peopl ein the car it will run poorly? This is what the SMART system is for? If I were to recieve poor gas, the car would knock and the xede would retard timing. However the next time i started the car which repowered the xede it would go back to the default map and not adapt at all to the gas and driving conditions? Just wondering if the xede has overcome some of the shortfalls of my UTEC (on my sti), but since the 335 in MAP based, i wonder if a lot of these problems go away with the removal of a MAF...
