I've just been in contact with an MRT agent on the Central Coast. He has confirmed that the MRT distributor in Sydney is ready to go with the 6MPS and they have done several cars already.

Unfortunatly the price is ~$2,000 which includes a dyno run. The reason for the high cost is that they have to pruchase a "code breaking" module from the UK at great expense to enable access to the factory ECU. They then use proprietory software to re-set the cars opperating parameters. They dont over-ride the in-built safety cut-outs in the ECU and programme within these limits. Therefore if there is a problem, the ECU will deal with it as if it was running on its regular programming and throw a CEL, cut the engine etc. This is why they offer a guarantee. Now this guarantee is a bit rubbery in what it coveres as it can be impossible to determine the cause of some problems however they do want satisfied customers saying nice things about their product on forums so will likely be helpful rather than not if there is a problem.

My local dealer wasnt 100% sure but said that for subies etc the software was able to lock-out changes by the dealer during regular servicing. In fact Mazda wouldnt even be able to see that any re-mapping had been done (but I be they could if they looked hard enough).

At the moment I'm having an SRI and in a few months a new dump pipe fitted. Then when the bank balance has recovered I'll have an EcuTek-MRT retune.

Long time lurker (well, not really), 1st time poster. I have a stock 05' 6 MPS. Car is just about about of warranty, so I thought I might as well get a bit more power. To this end, I am going to take my car to MRT in Sydney to get the ECUTEK flash at the end of March. Price is $1990.
Guess I will report back after it's all done.
