    If you were able to read it using the 4 CYL option in the tune tool, then Id shoot it to support@efilive.com. Unless Jesse at Wait4Me has a .calz created for it already, he might.

    Yeah, whenever it looks like no one is responding, I have already pm'd the appropriate people and gears have been set in motion.

    Even though the OS isn't recognized by EFI Live, would I be able to do a full re-flash of the PCM and change the OS to something that I already have? I'm actually using this PCM for a standalone operation on a off-road vehicle...

    To answer your question, yes, you should be able to full flash a known OS into that PCM (if they can accept a full flash, I dont know if they can or not. Know my P10s cant).
