Long story short the mosfets blew for a second time so I said bump it I'll upgrade to the MSD81. The only question I have is how does the ECU mapping works. Since my single Turbo tune is I8AOS and the MSD81 is IJE0S does that mean my car needs to retune with a IJE0S tune?

simple answer is yes.

when i swapped ECUs from 80 to 81 i contacted my tuner (ken @ Wedge performance) and he sent me out the new version of the tune for IJE0S

First things we done is upgrade to an MSD81 before starting to mod, the MSD80 is a ticking time bomb as a mate has found out last week.

First upgrade I did as well! Was hell because MHD kept changing the VIN thankfully with my feedback they fixed the bug! With swapped DME's
