When the existing power-chip can no longer give you more fuel because of the limitation of the fuel-injector (100% open!), why should you spend a fortune installing a new set of high-flow fuel injectors (some engines require up to eight!) and a new power-chip to drive them? That new eprom can cost you as much as another 300 dollars: older chips can no longer work with the new high-power injectors. Every engine is different, even among vehicles that come out of the factory at the same time: how can an eprom chip cater for the enormous variation of tuning configurations -- for cam change, intercooler change, or differing turbo/supercharger characteristics? OK, you'd listen to the experts, of course they know everything about the manufacturer's ECU and the latest batch numbers that match your car, and every little difference between software version 3.12 and 3.16! Press a few buttons on their lap-top ... a few minutes later, hey-presto! ... a new power-chip is yours for a mere 250 dollars!
Do you know how many engineer-hours a car manufacturer spends perfecting a single chip? You guessed, a lot! Making a change as drastic as different injectors, you are throwing away all the thousands of programming lines ... simple things like stable idling-speed, transient throttle-response, injection-rate and ignition-timing variations on air temperature against coolant temperature on trailing throttle ... that they have spent years developing. Unless these factors are set just right, your beloved car will not be very nice to drive. Assuming your car's manufacturer would willingly hand over its source code, do you think any independent chip tuner would spend 18 months of his time (including testing your car in Arctic and desert conditions!) so as to programme a little chip to run perfectly with your new high-flow injectors? And even supposing he were willing and able to do all that, are you prepared to wait that long?
But with the MF2 system, your tuning will be under your own control!
