 We're constantly working to improve our products and roll in various requests from our users.  This page will contain some updates on what we're spending our time on.

-===== V3Lite =====
-As promised, we have released [[http://www.ecmtuning.com/product/v3lite|V3Lite]] for the 1G and 2G DSMs.  We have posted a [[prodcompare|product comparison table]] for review.
-We do already have a few changes in mind for this product.  In particular, we expect to move the injector compensation from direct access into the ECU Config area because unlike most other direct access tables, changes to the deadtime table and even to the global fuel scale are just more convenient in the ECU Config area where they can be made as the engine is running.
-And by **popular** demand, we are moving the RPM-base fuel and timing sliders into V3Lite.  We were simply not aware that so many people found those sliders so useful.  They work great and they're super easy to use, so I guess we shouldn't have been too surprised.  So expect those to be ported into V3Lite very soon.  It's actually at the top of our todo list.
+===== Individual deadtime controls =====
+With the release of [[v3firmwarechangelog|3.20.174]], we have finalized the individual deadtime controls function.
-In addition, we're moving the current AirComp records from direct access into a new MAF Comp tab to match the functionality of our full package.  This makes it even easier to do airflow adjustments because it's a simplified table layout that matches all the existing documentation and tools for the full version.  For example, this change will give Lite users access to the [[v3mafadjcombft|MAF Adjust tool]] for automating the MAF dialin procedure.
+If you're not familiar with this, we have a video up of some [[http://www.youtube.com/user/ecmtuning#p/a/u/1/cO7fPmAxG50|sample results]].  Basically, you can dial in different deadtime values for each injector.  This lets you fine tune the behavior of injector sets that aren't match perfectly at idle pulsewidths.  Most places are not able to properly test injectors with our ECU drivers and at our typical idle pulsewidths.  So while the injectors they ship may be well matched at 100%, 80% or even 20% duty cycle, they can still be VERY different at idle due to variations in deadtime from one to the next.
-===== Individual deadtime control =====
+In addition to controlling individual deadtime, we have increased deadtime resolution as well.  The factory 1G ECU runs with a resolution of 24usecs and the 2G runs with 15usecs.  In previous releases, ECMLink normalized these so that both are 15usecs, but even this can be too coarse for large injectors.  Running 1750s with 15usecs "jumps" in injector pulsewidth at idle is just too much.
-We've tested the idea of doing individual deadtime control and we really liked [[http://www.youtube.com/user/ecmtuning#p/a/u/1/cO7fPmAxG50|the results]].  Basically, you can dial in different deadtime values for each injector.  This lets you fine tune the behavior of injector sets that aren't match perfectly at idle pulsewidths.  Most places are not able to properly test injectors with our ECU drivers and at our typical idle pulsewidths.  So while the injectors they ship may be well matched at 100%, 80% or even 20% duty cycle, they can still be VERY different at idle due to variations in deadtime from one to the next.

+We have increased this resolution to 1 usec (!!) to match the code inside the ECU (hardware limitations still limit this to 4 usecs, but the code tracks pulsewidths down to 1 usec for increased precision).  Doing so makes for much nicer idle quality with large injectors.

+===== Boost controls =====
+With the release of [[v3firmwarechangelog|3.20.245]], we have finalized our gear-based boost control implementnation.
+Yes, after many requests we have finally added [[boostcontrol|boost control logic]] inside the ECU.  This has been a requested item for *years* and we're sorry it has taken so long to finally free up the time to work on it.  But it's done now, so enjoy!
+The functionality is modeled after the stock Lancer EVO code, with a few tweaks of our own thrown in.  It's basically a full gear-based solution with error correction/learning built in.  And unlike the current EVO version, we'll support any number of boost sensors with a simple drop down selection.  We also have an "[[bcssetup|auto adjustment]]" tool to make it painfully simple to dial in.
