Thanks akaryrye. It was a long time coming - I had to rough it for many a year.
JayL, 2.6 was out when FM did my install, so I started with that. According to Jeremy, it's quite the step up from 2.5 (he says it should have been named 3.0).

it is a huge step up from 2.5. I spent quite a lot of time reading over the new features and it's impressive--with some caveats. the datalogging at first glance looks awesome, but really it sucks for a daily driver. otherwise it's pretty solid.

I've read quite a bit as well and I'm eager to give it a try. I'm really curious how well everything will transfer over from a lesser version without having to get it tuned again. Next winter is when I'm going to make the switch, but I'm not wanting to go into this blind. Figure if I start learning about it now it won't be too rough.

treat it as a totally different EMS. I forget if maps will port over, but there's enough different with it that it may well be worth starting from a base map and re-tuning it all.

y8s, do you know if the EBC function incorporates boost assist? From the documentation, it appears that it does, but Jeremy at FM maintains that a MBC works better.
Right now, I'm running with a MBC, but I dropped from 24 psig in Grand Junction (4,800 ft) to 18-19 psig at home (2,000 ft). I'd also like to experiment with gear-dependent boost.

boost assist is (as far as i know), is just a function of tuning your boost control correctly.
boost assist simply holds the wastegate shut until the last second when it opens to control boost without overshoot.
since you can alter the boost duty cycle directly in the hydra, you can set it up exactly that way.
