Not any time soon. There is a thread about it around hear some where where Ross explained that it was going to be very difficult to do it even possible at all. He said they all ready have way too many other projects to get done first, before he could even look into it anymore.

quoting from Ross:
One of the major issues with the LBZ ECM is the PowerPC CPU it uses, the way PowerPC code works it is very hard to alter things unless you can completely recompile the code (which only Bosch could do). The LB7/LLY ECM is a dream to work with in this aspect.
With the LBZ it also has two areas of memory, external flash and flash memory within the CPU, to do a custom O.S we would need to reflash both the external flash and internal flash, currently we can only get access to this via the CPU's debug port (which involves removing the back cover), so that is obviously not an option for our customers.

Again, I won't say it's never going to happen but there is a lot of work involved to make it happen and as always we have a very full R&D plate already.

Cheers,
Ross

It won't be researched until later in the year. Given the differences between the LB7/LLY ECM's and the LBZ/LMM ECM's we don't even know if it's able to support this type of function - it may not be even possible!

We'll know around August if it's possible, and if it is release time frames would then follow based on the scope of the project.

Cheers

After I've read this thread and a bunch of others I can't seem to find any info on a dsp2 switch for an LBZ. Are they out there and I just haven't looked far enough, or like the dsp5 switches not available for the lbz. EFI is the next item I'm looking to get along with a Suncoast IV and a set of gauges so I'm doing all of my homework:D

WOW THIS IS ONE EXPENSIVE ADDICTING HOBBY!

There is no DSP2 or DSP5 for the LBZ or the LMM.
