Default CAN A XR2I ECU BE LIVED MAPPED LIKE A AFTERMARKET ECU

Was just reading a post and it got me thinking, is it possable to live map/chip a XR2i ecu to work with beige injectors and a boost controller or does the map sensor not allow it or anything else and why

just thought i would ask whilst we got the techy posts going on

the hardware limitations mean you cant use it in forced induction. (ive asked before for my old twin turbo)

you can still live map it tho, just dont go above 0psi

all EECIV ecus arent the same. the ECU itself doesnt have enough loadpoints on it (i think thats how it was descibed to me)
