Does any one know if the ECU fash andy uses for tuning has a 2 step rev limiter that you can program like how the xede does. Just wondering.

Every evo has a launch limiter built into the ECU. It works when the car is at 0 mph and the clutch is pushed in.

03-04 had this feature but set above the rev limiter, basically turning it off. 05+ has it set at 5,000 rpm. Depending on the mods, you can build 8-10psi at the line with this factory limiter.

With EcuFlash you can set it at whatever RPM you wish.

Just think of it as built in launch control to keep the turbo spooled

So for an 03 VIII guy like myself I would need to get EcuFlash or Xede to program the rev limiter? I know stupid question, its just this whole time I thought I would need to buy a stutter box.

ecu flash is all you need, you can lower it to whatever you want

Go to limits>stationary limits

Evo9s are at 5000rpm from the factory as Bryan stated

Well, if I am just trying to set the rev limiter will I need a whole set-up (things besides EcuFlash) or if I can find SOMEONE (*AHEM*) who can kindly set it for me?

Just make sure whatever you do, don't take someone else's flash and flash it over yours.
You'll find out that the immobilizer code gets overwritten and you won't be able to start your car.
