| − | '''Welcome to the Evo ECU Wiki!'''
| + | <strong>MediaWiki has been successfully installed.</strong> |
| | | | |
| − | The [[wikipedia:Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution|Evo]] has a powerful stock [[Wikipedia:Engine control unit| Engine control unit]] (ECU) which can be reprogrammed to accommodate the needs of each individual car based on their modifications and desired outcomes.
| + | Consult the [//meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents User's Guide] for information on using the wiki software. |
| | | | |
| − | This wiki has the goal of detailing, with community contributions, how to tune, patch, and log your stock ECU, but it isn't the only resource available to you; please see our [[Helpful_Links|helpful links]] page for other sites that provide useful information.

| − | '''But wait, there's more!''' We also have mirrors set up for a variety of software packages, documentation, and other bits and pieces that folks find useful in our [http://evoecu.logic.net/mirror/ mirror section]. If you're looking for an obscure ROM version, an old version of EcuFlash, or some other odd bit of software, there's a good chance we might have a copy of it here.

| − | {{note|''Editors!'' if you're here to add a new page to the wiki, we appreciate the help! But please, check to see if it doesn't already exist first; we already have pages on [[EvoScan]], [[EcuFlash]], [[Logging Cable]], [[Wide Band Air Fuel Meter]], and a [[Glossary]]. Just search for your topic in the sidebar, and see if there's something similar already; if there is, please help us improve by augmenting and cleaning up existing articles. Thanks!}}
