Start with the stock code which RDH posted and scale from there. For the
MAC02 code update you will indeed need an EPROM programmer, these run
around <$150 and can be found in the back of Embedded Systems
Programming magazine, along with some TMS2532 EPROMS. As for
zener or EPROM, that depends if you are a hardware weneie or software
wennie.

Well, that just begs the question, a better way? Lets table the idea and
see if it truely keeps all the safeguards intact, but with the raised 
limits.
More info, more info. There, I said it.

For an implementation question on the 5000/200 turbo cars, why doesn't
anyone reprogram the ECU to make the wastegate frequency valve work
for you in raising the boost pressure? Kinda like the HKS EVC, only it is
standard equipment in all these cars. All that needs to happen is to use it
in the correct manner.
